S.O. Lendley 1952 Journal 16 Aug 15 11 1/2 mi NE Chama, 10,000 ft, Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico hawk, probably a dark Red-tailed, flew out of the cover and soared away to the north along the west ridge of the valley. I could have taken it easily but all I had was half loads. Several Lewises were calling and "flycatching" in the opens. I walked along the edge of a little draw about 50 feet wide and 30 ft deep at it's mouth, which runs up the west side of the valley. Several cross-bills landed in the top of an arpen. I collected 1 ? DeSoreau flew. I also chased 2 Red-Shafted Flickers around this grove. I got a hit one with a .22 aux but it wasn't enough to stop him. I loked below across the slope. On the hill to the west of camp I found fresh porcupine baking on a spruce, about 10 feet stripped off ore. I set 64 mouse traps on the rocky, barely hill to the east of camp. (The slope & "kish ledge") The set ran into the rock-slide about 1/3 1/2 the way up the hill. Aug 16 A chickaree was chattering in the big spruce by our kitchen in the middle of camp as we ate breakfast. I picked up my traps. Tadpot! 10 Peromyscus | Clethronomys and Microtus longicaudus. This stirred such a feeling amongst the boys that tonight I have more company setting traps. Nothing succeeds like success.
