S.O. Sunday 1952 18 Journal Aug 16 11/2mi NE Chama, 10,000, Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico of camp. Ward took a meadowlark from a steel trap baited in the chipmunk, I set 33 museum Aug 17 specials in approximately the same spot as the first 12 of last nights live in the rocky stuff to the West. Saw a flock of 7 nighthawks heading south. Aug 17 picked up the traps. 2 lousy immature Peromyscus and a Rustet Backed Thrush. This was a young or birdie being beat up by the trap and eaten by cuts. My Lincoln Sparrow was now lost so I had nothing to put up. I saw a pileolated woodpecker and a Rustet-Backed Thrush while picking up the traps. Nutatches (Red-breasted) were common plentiful around camp, but they stayed up high. I got up on the hill-side to try to collect something! I saw a pileolates parbler moving through the spruce, but it was too active for me to get a shot at. I finally lost it up on the ridge to the south east of camp. I shot a F chipmunk and put it up. I then walked out a short distance up the slope to the Southwest. I heard several cross calling. 4 of them flew over, to high for a shot, heading North. Jerry Russell and I headed out again North-East. We were after a large woodpecker of some kind. We were in thick spruce. Nutatches were duckible and visible but not shokable. I shot a Calliope hummingbird up on the slope in the woods.
