R.B. Hamilton 1967 Journal 3 Km SE of Narroopa, Dept. Lambay 294c, Park Elev. 100'. 5pt 4 Aug. 1967. We anchored out 0600 to the sound of the cocker crow, thirty minutes near due to people. It has been windy throughout the night but the morning now clear. During the last 24 hrs the maximum temperature was 69° and the minimum was 62°F. After breakfast I went to check the traps. On a sea line I caught two mice, both dead. On one caught a sugar trap as on one caught in his trap I was not thrown into can but water was caught by wind before can was used... Both men mentioned as neither were put up. I must send off the traps to location when they were tracked from the spirits before, and start to check my traps for coming or same with them. Today and to pull the trap. There was no mice in my trap so I took all the traps, I took in 11 live and clean sugar trap off of my line and 11 live and 5 sugar trap from other line. While doing this I saw an acorn digging grizzly Gecotio. During this display it began stationing over on a jet that 20' in air with rapid wing beats, it threw right around with continuity. At the far shot 40'th due to looks still going came out, another Gecotio was shot 100' away but showed no special behavior during its alone performance. White-mirred Dove, Warbling Finch, (Clamorous Finches) coming from Dove are visible until shadows are seen. I then returned to camp when I reorganized all my gear and got ready to move. About 1315 we left as headed S. Nothing around except a tree.
