Massett May 30/51. [1951]
In AM worked on Dalkatla +
as soon as tide was right drove
out to mile 9 + walked into
MacIntosh meadows. This is a large
open area - 3 to 4 miles long + half a
mile wide that is variously between
a bog + a muskeg. Some parts are
wet meadow.
The wet meadow areas are grass
covered + have small spruce
starting they seem to have better
drainage than the muskeg areas.
Scattered stunted pines + cedars interspersed
with 2 cotton sedges, sedge, Ledum,
Kalmia + cranberry provide the more
obvious vegetation.
This is a nesting ground for crane
