Creator Transcript
  • Devona May 9, 1944 After 8 days fine weather it started to rain during the night + in the afternoon turned to snow. It is now 10 PM + still snowing, about an inch on the ground. The wind was brisk + from the east all afternoon, is now light + from the north. For about 3 hours I worked the flats between here + the Athabasca. The browse conditions are surprisingly good + show a marked improvement over a year ago. The Eleagnus is not over 50% browsed + there is a grass carryover of at least 10 to 20% Certain of the willows in more moist locations are still alive + these show a 50% survival of last years growth The improvement is probably due to the open winter which permitted the game to range higher. Game seen:- 33 deer. Saw a flock of 18 herring gulls beating eastward against the wind. Miette May 10/44 [1944] Left Devona this morning at 9:40 + hiked down to Miette cabin arriving at 12:25. On the way counted Moose 1 elk 28 Sheep 143 goat 6 Deer 32 Grizzly 2.
