   The rocky top of the little whaleback was covered with grass & a scatter growth of Red Oak, Hawthorne & Maple. upper slopes where we ascended a pure stand of red & mountain maple.  Lower slope - butternut, (scarce) birch, aspen, spruce & hemlock, blue cedar.  The two first confiders had suffered heavily last winter from ice, 10-12 feet of the tops being broken out of many of them.
Skinned give birds & swam twice

   Left at 7:00 to mainland and drove to Mont Laurier & return getting back to house at 1:30 PM.  Hot & still country difficult to hunt & tho I tried numerous places results were not good.  Did see a number of birds.  Country entirely cut over & a waste of rocks - aspen, birch etc. with small patch farms scattered about.
