June 30 Sage Hen Creek, 3 mi., NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif.
Upper above the spot mark location. Creepers
seen at Fork 1 PM and at mid point of
sample D where one had nest under
bark of dead e pole about 4' off ground.
Left 4 PM, saw pr of cowbirds 4:30
in kiln midw (N end) where Hoffmann
I noted them earlier. I saw a clutch as
July 1 well as a "tlee". A Carr. perch 6:40 clear,
v. windy. 7:30 double notch comes down
mid-channel into main pond + goes
behind lodge. 7:35 goes ashore to tear
off piece of bark from the 14" aspen it's
been peeling regularly other evening.
Returns to shallow water as usual,
to eat. 7:40 crosses down over the
main or N dam wing into the 2 next
lower ponds + finally into Jim's old pond.
I think tho' I lost sight of him fin-
ally. 7:50 some activity there. 7:55 I
climbed down & explored upstream slowly
on N side. 8:10 beaver comes down mid-
channel + dives into lodge. Am sure
this is not double-notch tho' I couldn't
see tail. I went downstream to the
big tree recently cut just below Jim's old
at 8:35 from where I could see a beaver
cutting willow in the pond just below.
