Creator Transcript
  • Journal. Aug. [August] 17/43 [1943] hair grass + a dark headed short grass with pubescent foliage. Monkshood + delphinium are present to the top along with the large purple aster [word crossed out] erigeron etc. etc. [etcetera] All these grasses are eaten, particularly the hair grass in early spring + the tussock grass at the same time. High winds keep the ridge almost clear of snow as is evinced by the dwarf birch browsed to 6". Heavy moose browsing upon balsams + available willows. As for game there was absolutely nothing on the entire ridge or the valley of Rock Creek or the one leading to Deer Pass. On the E. [East] side of Rock Cr. [Creek] the shale slides showed trails that looked like sheep trails. These lead to the hills Dr [John] Hammet described as having sheep on them after the first snows. These hills probably support bands in slow migration but we saw no evidence of a summer population. There are no deer at this time of year. Game seen:- 10 goat on west side of Mowitch Cr [Creek] N [North] of those seen yesterday 2 Caribou? On skyline of deer pass. Birds:- 1 Goshawk, 1 Peregrine, 5 Marsh Hawks 2 golden eagle. The hawks were hunting Callys [Callospermophilus] + Pikas on the rockslides. 10 Horned Larks 1 Blue grouse.
