Creator Transcript
  • Journal 9 Microtus r. [richardonsi] macropus. Found some fresh cuttings + fresh diggings. These large microti seem to prefer the banks of a rather swift streamlet with steep banks. It appears to me that these animals are moving up stream as the growth of food plants advance. Watched a falcon chasing a golden eagle across valley. It repeatedly struck at the eagle + both disappeared in a northerly direction. Three black swifts seen circling over rocky hill + valley west of ranger's cabin. Collected a [female symbol] chipmunk which was sitting up on a stone in the same manner as the ground squirrels i.e. upright like a tent peg. - Noticed some old diggings where bear had dug out ground squirrels. Caught two [female symbol] Pack rats in rock slide + I think they have been setting off the traps set for the conies. In one instance the tie strings were cut up + removed by these rats as well as two red tags. All the animals of this high elevation marmots, rats, conies + microtus appear to be very inactive at the present time + I think become more active as the season advances + the family cares increase. In afternoon went with Ian [McTaggart Cowan] down to meadows north west of camp + saw numerous runways fresh cuttings
