J.G.Hall 1954 210 July 25 Sagehen Creek, 6500 ft, 3 mi NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co, Calif. R slide good chance to look at the dorsal tail surface through binocs & could see no evidence of any wound from the branding fluid. At 8:15 a doe app. near the #2 sign of Lard's and had a definite dark stripe down the dorsal tail surface. Heard what was either chewing or just running water near E but never did see any beaver. "Mangy" may have come originally from the bank burrow or lodge near D if not from pond #3. He disappeared near D at 8:25 possibly into the burrow, to reappear at 8:35. Gone 8:40. 8:45 Elliott saw him in the N channel of pond #3 & tonded his head & his flyrod! He must have gone around from D to there via the S end of the loop, not the N end (if this would be the same way he came down stream if the beaver seen at 8:05 was really "mangy"). Left at 8:45 PM. July 26 9 AM. checked all 4 traps - no beaver. July 28 L.own colony 3:15 PM. One adult & at least 4 downy Lower colony young mt. quail seen in Wyethia just upstream from big snag that Mosher pushed over. Adult didn't seem in any hurry to leave, just kept giving what must have been warning or "hide" notes to the young.
