Green Colorado River 1927 Lower Cal., Mex. 20 mi. S. of Pilot Knob Oct. 13, 1927 The muskrat that swam a way swam very fast out into a 5 or 6 mile current and turned right at home. The birds are plentiful enough but on the dryer portion of land the arrow weed and willows afford wonderful concealment and I think any stalk which I tried to make. The river travels at a rate which makes it impossible to recover anything which should be shot over it. The swamps are so thick with tall bulrushes that one cannot penetrate them with any favorable results. It gets very hot here in midday and there are plenty of mosquitoes. I saw another muskrat which Mr. Kane shot at but missed as it half swam down the river. I saw a half dozen red runners today around
