morning, so began packing rocks, plants, insects etc.
Sept. 6, 1905
Arose at 6 a.m. and some began packing while others got breakfast. Got wagon loaded and started at 9:15. John rode to Bluebird road, whence we all walked down to North Boulder Falls, where we ate lunch at 11 a.m. Were caught in several showers and hail storms, taking shelter under trees and reaching Silver Lake Siding at 1 p.m. where Markman shot an Audubon or Myrtle warbler. Rained again just after reaching the siding. Hard rains extended clear out in the valley. Lack of sunlight prevented collecting insects on way down as we had hoped. Caught train at 2:20 p.m. Am perplexed by the entire absence of robins on this trip. Reached Boulder at 4:45, shaved, and after supper went to office for my mail and then to University to see that collections were properly taken care of.
