J.G. Hall 1952 39 July 24 Sagemen Creek, 3mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co, Calif. additional cutting compared to when we first photographed about a month ago. 11:07 saw a water shrew swim- ing rapidly along under water about 2" from S shore just above main dam. He followed shore closely and made ripples occasionally as he hit the surface. In fact I thought it was a small fish "ris- ing" at first. Surveyed until 1 PM, took 2 byw & polaroid of house from seat. Stationed myself in seat 6:45 PM. all clear+ calm & warmer than last night. Pewes hard at work catching insects & feeding young; raised big row when a robin perched on limb just below their nest. 8:35 beaver ap- peared & 3" aspen log (peeled) and forced it into the dam, then disap- peared over dam. 8:45 doe & twin spotted fawns ambled slowly down- stream on N bank, feeding as they went. Left tree at 9 PM w/o seeing any more beavers. Stood on S bank for 20 minutes & scared a doe + at least one fawn (maybe same trio seen earlier on N bank). Persepsus at my
