We ate two cantaloupes and a sandwich at the cabin spring, and left there at 1 p.m., reaching the first crossing of North Boulder at 2 p.m., where we rested 10 minutes. Reached Silver Lake at 2:36 and camp at 3 p.m. Markman returned at 1 p.m. with a bagful of birds and mammals including Douglas ? squirrel , , a merlin , etc. I saw white crowned sparrows and what I took for Audubon warbler . I don’t like the way the clouds are acting. At 3:15 I went down to the Island Lake Dam and collected water beetles , leaches (sic) and other “beasts”, returning at 5:25. Sievert returned at 4 p.m. with a lot of insects and a cony (sic) which was killed by a hawk ]. Saw flickers and warblers .
