Creator Transcript
  • Cervus canadensis [underlined] food: Along the Marvel lake trail they had been concentrating on the plant with the cylindrical purple flower head + the grass like plant with a bulb + glaucous leaves. (Zygadenus) [added later] Whiteman Cabin. June 15/43 [1943]. Sign indicates a few elk wintered near upper Spray Lake but none between Lower " " + here. The paucity of tracks on the trail + absence of droppings indicates that this is not the route by which the elk reach the upper Spray. Healy Creek. June 17/43 [1943] There is evidence of elk wintering on the S [south] slope of Mt [Mount] Bourgeau up at least 6 miles from Healy Creek cabin. Aspens have been chawed with a heavier activity last winter than previously. This may indicate a larger winter population or a greater aspen bark utilization under pressure of heavy snow conditions. Aspens are abundant + of all ages from very young. There is as yet no overcrowding of this winter range but the 3 to 4 ft [feet] of snow that builds up may render the going precarious. Census:- Saw one large bull at 5 mile
