J.G. Hall 1952 81 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. Sept. 12 to make a turn. 7:16 I noticed it or another beaver squatting in shal- lows feeding on willows. 7:13 left near dam, cut willow & took it into house. Cutting sounds still audible near where first beaver was but get- ting too dark to see. Left seat at 7:35 and walked back to camp. Heard coyotes yapping at SE end of Kilu Meadow at 8:10 PM. Clear, calm + cold Oct 11 in evening. Upper colony 10 AM. Clear and warm after a cold night (but 30). Not any great addition to cutting near house but house has been plastered considerably & is covered i wet mud. Fresh aspen stiles with leaves still on them are stuck into lower framework of house and may be winter storage. Dam is in excellent repair - water higher than in summer although creek level is much lower than it was a month ago. Fisherman's tree, formerly partially girdled, has now been felled (15" in di- ameter). This is only obvious major work- ing near house. 3 or 4 trees have been felled farther down, near flash tree. Leaves of Fisherman's tree are still
