Abstract:

The body of sheep left the winter range on Mt. Everts while the author was on a leave of absence. As yet, they have not reached their summer range. Two groups of sheep have been seen in migration, one between Mammoth and Tower and the other going toward Golden Gate. Elk calves and antelope kids appeared in numbers after the first of June. Bird migrations have been noted and habits of Trumpeter Swans and Sandhill Cranes recorded. Some time has been spent in detail work, examining reports of damage done by small animals in the park. This is an extremely useful source of information, containing monthly reports, and field reports of all the animals observed.
