S.O.Sanley 1952 40 Journal Sept 1 Sandia Pueblo, 6 mi S Bernalillo, 5,500 ft, Sandoval Co, New Mexico were plentiful today. I shot a couple of piletated warblers. Saw a large flock of scaled grait in here; in the thick grass near the south edge of the cotton wood patch. Shot a house wen in the brush along the ditch bank. Too poor to put up. I also killed a Mourning Dove which was perched up on a limb. I killed him with a .38 carb. I found out that today was the opening of Dove season the hard way. Dave dumb son - op's ditch rained shot all over our camp. Furthermore, he got his car stuck and I had to get him out. I set the steel traps again and about 35 mouse specials in the dry wash in the desert. Bob and I saw the traps at night. It bright moon was shining but we found that the mice are active in the shadow. Therefore, went till moon-rise and set your trap in the shade! We picked up one Perognathus flams and watered and for we piper the bait from a trap. A screech owl was calling lustily over our sleeping bags and swooping though our camp in the moon light. Too lazy to shoot him. Sept 2. Picked up traps. I still carried away without a trace. I more Perognathus in the mouse special. I shot 4 Townsend's Warblers, 3 Pileated and 1 Yellow Warbler in about 2 hours. Bowman left to get Pearson in town.
