[[underlined]] 40 Journal [[underlined]]

[[underlined]] April 6 [[/underlined]] - Took up my line of poisoned baits and put them on the creek so they will wash away as soon as the ice breaks.  Meanwhile they may get a coyote.  The lobos had not been back to their den.

Saw a few [[underlined]] Citellus elegans [[/underlined]] out on the snow.  Caught one and made it up.  Made up the ^ [northern] shrike I killed yesterday & found a [[underlined]] peromyscus [[/underlined]] in its stomach.  It was shot soon after sunrise in the morning & had eaten nothing else.

Packed up some specimens & got ready to leave on stage in morning for Cora & Pinedale.

A cold morning & hard crust.  Thawed rapidly during day.
