June 27, 1947. 68 [degree symbol] 31' 135 [degree symbol] 55'
Left camp at 10 o'clock + paddled up the
river opposite to its source in a lake
about 1 1/2 miles long. This lake had flooded
to a depth of 5 ft [feet] above present land and
the emergent vegetation is only now
beginning to show. In contrast with
the lake at our last camp which did not
flood + elevated only about a foot, this
lake is absolutely dead. Not a single bird of
any sort of it. A small colony of
groundsquirrels on a knoll at the s [south]
end. No beaver or muskrat sign
We proceeded westward, up the
course of a small creek that enters the
lake at its s. [south] end. About 1/2 mile from
the lake this stream comes out of a
basin that bears many small elevations
covered with lichen + a little crow
berry + bog cranberry. This meadow
harboured a pair of long-tailed Jaegers +
3 pairs of Hudsonian curlew, as well as
2 pairs of Savannah sparrows.
Continuing westward we crossed Canoe
River + climbed the first mountain, about
1500' to 2000'. Sides are very steep + composed
of dense vegetative cushions higher there is
dry ground vegetation such as saxifrage
+ slopes of pure vegetative lichen
such as I have seen nowhere else.
