S. O. Jansky 1952 Journal 54 Sept 13 Lm S Bernardo, 5,000ft, Socorro, New Mexico migration canal, an artificial marsh mostly dry now, with pools here and there and some knee deep grass growing around. Also a good many Mesquite bushes hither and yon. Some of the thicket are pretty thick. All around in sand and sage - brush. A more unlikely spot Sept. for Zapus would be hard to imagine. Aug 14. Picked up traps. 2 Peromyscus leucopus. No- ore got any Zapus. This marshy spot is literally covered with coon tracks. I went out shooting in the morning and mesquite thickets to the north. I found the duck blind where Bob caught his Zapus. Got a Dickcissel, in the mash grass here + a Brewer's sparrow - 4 whirle there are many. There are also a great many Jark Spenows in the grass which I was unable to collect. Bower got are. I got a Yellow throt in the thick Mesquite and a young Red- Winged Blackbird as well. Great Blue Herons are prevalent and American Egrets are also common. I have also seen killdeer and yellow-leg Barn Swallows are swooping over the marsh. Bower and I went out tonight and picked up a great many frog and toads. We did this last night too, I forgot to mention it. I re-set my trap + 10 live traps when wee around here. I hope we get something!
