23.
I found two porcupines up trees near camp & located them for future provision in case we had to follow wolf tracks away from home the next day. One was a small, probably female, the other a huge old fellow. Both were in the tops of maple trees where they were peeling branches, while several birches & maples [[strikethrough]] were [[/strikethrough]] near by were badly stripped of bark & half a dozen small hemlocks had the tops puled down far enough to kill or ruin the trees.
I climbed up another tree & photographed the big fellow at 15 feet after it stopped snowing towards night. Then left them alone in their treetops.
Saw the first red squirrel of the trip tho they are common near the club houses. Saw a large beaver track out on one of the dams & as usual lots of rabbit tracks & a few wild cat tracks.

Saw no new birds.
About half inch of snow fell.
