D. Savely 1952 Journal 15. Aug 14 - 11 1/2 mi NE Chama, 10,000 ft, Rio Arriba co, New Mexico Zapus and I must get more adult Peromysc u. Jerry Russel found weasel excrement near a gopher burrow and Ward set a schupper, though baited with trout heads. Aug 15 Picked up traps. 3 Peromyscus + 1 Clethrionomys Only 1 adult Peromyscus saved. Set off to the west across the ridge and into the game warden's valley. Chickadees + junco s were numerous on the slope above camp. Red-shafted flickers were flying around. I took a shot but missed. Heard a nuthatch (Red Breasted) calling nearby. This slope is open, grassy with scattered spruces. I collected a Western Flycatcher in an aspen grove. It was very tame, flew to within about 6 feet of me. I had to back off to collect it with a .22 awr. Even then it was cut up some. I walked on over the slope to the east side of the game warden's valley. This slope is thickly covered with spruce and fir. I heard a chuckwaine calling but could not locate him. I did get into a spot where at least 3 of them were calling. I managed to collect one about 30 feet up in a spruce in close to the trunk, trunk. I broke out of the spruce forest at the bottom of the valley, where there is a grassy meadow and a stream. The other side of the valley (West side) is open and gassy with a lot of aspen and some conifers. As I crossed the stream a large Buteo.
