Creator Transcript
  • June 26, 1936. Okanagan Falls, B.C. [British Columbia] This morning skinned from 5:30 till 8. After breakfast went down W. [West] side of River + Vasseaux lake to huge cliff where I hoped to find Canyon Wrens, Did a prodigious amount of climbing in temp [temperature] of 100 [degrees sign] but had no luck at all. Shot another swift but could not find it among the rocks. About 6 pairs nesting there. Time to hunt in this country is early May when birds are singing. In evening went out to White Lake again + hunted streamside for chats. All the rattlesnakes in the country were in an alfalfa field there. There must have been 500 if there were 10 - nice country to hunt birds in! Tomorrow morning we go on to Penticton. Car giving a little trouble - I think it is dirty gas. Saw 21 geese on Dog Lake. 3 families with 5 young in each. The nests were on the island at the south end of the Lake.
