Creator Transcript
  • Ondatra [underlined] Push up:- We obtained some material from a push up on some drift ice. Sample preserved - see no sign of this being eaten. Food:- All animals seen today were feeding on new tips of Equisetum or by far the greatest number on a fleshy, pale yellow rhizome. This was floating in windrows along certain parts of the shore. Did the rats cut it or did the ice break it loose? Harvest:- Could the season be opened earlier for trapping. If there is a winter loss this could be added to the catch + even if some unprime pelts were taken the average price might be greater than that for shot rats? 8 mi [miles] N. [north] Aklavik. June 12/47 [1947] Our 14 traps took 2 rats [male symbol] + [female symbol]. [female symbol] upset the trap + drowned. Took [female symbol] for examination see sheet 2879 Weather + activity:- Today was cold + stormy + the rats were not nearly as active as they were yesterday. Saw about half as many. Watched 2 eating tips of Equisetum [underlined] spring shoots.
