- Goldstream Lake. June 13/40 [1940].
Stomach contents
Salal new leaves, flowers +
green berries 80%
Berberis new leaves 5%
Willow 10%
Grasses + weeds 5%.
This deer was feeding in 1938 burn
where there was no fir reprod. [reproduction]
Food notes: Hedge nettle, salmonberry, Epilob. [Epilobium]
august [word crossed out] adenocaulon, + the flowering rush
are now being heavily utilized,
oenanthe + R. [Ranunculus] flammula still
contribute to the food supply
but the latter only to a minor
degree. Purslane + lactuca is
eaten to a great or less degree
where it occurs in the burned
areas but very little browsing
on them in the primitive areas.
Pyrolla is 80% browsed, mainly
flower stalks but some leaves.
Apparently fir, salal, willow
+ berberis still contribute the
major part of the food supply.
