broken by outcroppings of rock + rock slides.
Very steep + rough. At the top of this slope
[Ian McTaggart] Cowan collected a Callospermophilus + a
White-tailed Ptarmigan, both males. Careful
hunting of the slope failed to produce more
Ptarmigan. A golden eagle flew
down by us where we were on the hill top.
Collected many different species
of flowers. At the peak found penstemon
just coming into bloom. On examining the
crop of the Ptarmigan found it contained
about 60% leaves of spring beauty + 40% flowers
of white heather along with a few bits of heather stalk.
Crossbills have been seen about
daily. but generally out of range.
July 13/37 [1937] Rain + fog all day. Took a
[male symbol] weasel + a ground squirrel in traps set at
foot of big rock slide. Shot a [male symbol] Alaska 3 Toed
Woodpecker near cabin. This bird was moulting
heavily. Left Eva Lake after brunch + along
trail near Miller Lake trail saw a large porcupine
+ at one of the lower slides [Ian McTaggart] Cowan collected
two [male symbol] + [female symbol] yearling marmots in very fine dark
pelage. These we skinned at once to make
easier packing.
July 14/37 [1937]. Torrential rain all night
+ greater part of morning. Packed up specimens
+ baggage. Mrs [Kenneth] Racey [Kathleen Eileen Louise Stewart] + Stewart [Racey] arrived + we
