June 6 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif.
mud. 8" apart, 2" wide, hind & fore-
tracks almost superimposing; maybe
just beavers. Can't tell much about activ-
ity but, although water is higher than in
summer & fall, you can walk on the
marshy area N of the RR "bridge" now
without getting your feet wet, not
[so waters to] now lower
possible last summer. Stellar jays
in l'poles 4:25. Sprinkling a little pm
time to time but clearing up eventually.
Flicker calling, two T. Solitaires in
Jeffreys, one fluttering wings while perch-
ed a foot below the other but no
copulation. Two tops of aspen, 6-8'
from ground cut by beavers on S
side of creek opp turn-off place.
Probably cut this winter. Also some
old cutting here. One 3" asp partly
cut here too. No asp. in leaf yet.
7:30 PM al, Bob + I saw 2 or 3 sites
just above upper Rockside where
dams may be beginning but it's
v. hard to say yet. 50' up from this
a bigger blockade more probably but
not certainly is beaver work. 25'
farther up from this blockade is an
extensive cutting & feeding area
