5.0. Sarody 1957 Journal 45 Aug 6 6 mi E Truchas, 10,000 ft, Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico effect. Juncos were plentiful. Several chickadees were calling working through the fire and aspens. After lunch I went up in the fields to the North East of here to shoot a juncus when out of nowhere a goshawk flew over me from behind about 20 feet up. I only had a .22 awe, but I let fly with that. It had no effect. He hit the ground about 50 yards away and then flew off to a tree. I suppose he picked up a micratus. Pearson left about 10:30 this morning for Truchas Peak. It in about 5 miles and 3,000 feet. He is going to stay over night and set traps up there or at any rate in the Hudsonium someplace. We had what the weather man would call a "partly cloudy" afternoon but no rain. I decided to move my traps to the field on the hill. I saw a micetus up there, and runway are abundant. The chipmunks up there are eating thistle heads among other thing. I watched them dismounting these and there are great piles of the feefrey plumes around. The chickadees seem to live largely on cones. I watched one cutting them out of a spruce tree and dropping them on the ground. Apparently the squirrel eats a lot of them and then run down to eat them. The conceal some of them in holes and under logs exactly like grey squirrels. Chipmunks seem to subsist very largely on weed seeds of various sorts. I cannot I move in my snow traps today.
