Aug 22 Sagetter Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif.
Lower 7:09 adult beaver, possibly same one seen earlier
at N end of dam, seen by middle of dam.
7:15 kit comes from main dam & willow &
takes it into lodge. 7:18 (J) appeared
in pond by the lodge & went up-channel.
Area to rear of right & perhaps left
ear was darker or area between ears
a little lighter than normal. This
was the animal that was bleached
in area behind & between ears (see
page 296). This beaver was trapped
slightly above the shade the night
of Aug 4 and thus is one instance
(crossing the "boundary" between my
two so-called new & old sections of the
lower colony area. 7:20 heard mewing
from the lodge. 7:22 (J) and a med-
ium sized beaver, larger than a kit,
appeared in the pond near the lodge
evidently coming from a bank bur-
row, and floated side by side for
some time, the med. size one mew-
ing. a beaver (kit?) cutting in willows
near the lodge at same time. 7:27
the med. size one swam up channel
7:30 a muskrat working in willows
30' SW of the lodge & on edge of channel.
