   Clara June & I got up early & made a trip to the mainland looking for birds.  We were lucky enough to stumble on to an old clearing grown up to small aspens & birch. Saw a family of Magnolia warblers & one of [[Bluets & ?]].  We also found a Loons nest built on a tiny island.  It had two eggs on it:  Saw following birds

Skinned eight birds.  Went fishing & helped Clara & the kids catch 29 yellow perch.  It kept me busy baiting hooks.
Came home went swimming - ate supper, filled the ice box & cleaned fish.
