[[underlined]] April 4. [[/underlined]] Went to my wolf den but the old wolves had not come to the young, tho tracks were all around near the den.  Fed the young milk from a bottle & put them back.  Put strychnine in 6 pieces of cottontail & placed them around where the wolves came.  

Photographed tracks of lobo, coyote, jack rabbit & sage grouse.  Saw the first tracks of a Citellus(probably elegans) that I have been sure of.

Saw a fine male marsh hawk & a rough leg.

Saw a tiny weasel track that must be of a P. rixosus -

Sent expenses account & wrote Pinchot & other letters.  A cold morning & bright warm day; thawing fast.
