Ruby crowned kinglet + water thrush.
Lang's Post. Aug. [August] 10/47 [1947]
Weather overcast but still +
no rain in morning but heavy
rain in evening until 11 PM
then clearing. Mosquitos very bad
+ with them + the rain we had
one of the most miserable evenings
of the summer.
In the morning we returned
to the grassy lake we found on
our first day here, took in the
canoe + found the lake to be
the best one we have yet seen.
There are at least 7 active burrows
around it + I think we can
get traps into all of them
In the evening we set out our
traps + got thoroughly soaked, got
home at just after 11 PM.
Found the Arctic loon chick,
seen by us 5 days ago, dead on the
edge of its nest. Cause of death
unknown.
Waterfowl Widgeon [Wigeon] 5, G.w. [Green-wing] teal 2.
