Creator Transcript
  • May 24/41 [1941] Up at 5:30; sky slightly overcast. Nothing in any traps. A flock of 20 geese flew over camp + later 4 more went in same direction (South). Two loons on lake Owl nest discovered on the previous evening was investigated and 5 downy young were removed by means of small dip net. Fed readily by hand, eating all scraps from skinning. In afternoon took net in truck up lake shore to shallow bay. Saw turtles basking on sand bar. Ian [McTaggart Cowan] caught one. Made set with seine net catching many small chub, suckers, perch, 1 catfish and 2 turtles. Made second sweep catching more small fish + also large perch + med. [medium] sized bass. In a third haul we got more of the same, plus 3 turtles + 1 large leather carp + 2 ordinary carp. Three kodachrome films arrived from Scotts. After supper the heavy breeze kept up + we were able to catch 8 bats apiece by means of nets. [arrow pointing from the following sentence to area after "Three kodachrome films arrived from Scotts"] Took tour back to foot of mountain and over sand dune but saw nothing.
