- River in the early afternoon, bringing
with him a goose, a jay + a
saw-whet owl. as the major results
of his 3 days down there. Excellent
stuff. The most interesting thing is
that our pole trapping technique for the
owls works.
In the evening we went down
to the marsh 4 miles S [South] of here +
while there heard several owls +
shot a large buck deer in
excellent condition. The owls
were most elusive + did not
offer a shot.

1 golden plover, 5 semipalmated plover,
10 or 12 western sandpipers.
