half out. The canyon traps caught nothing.
All traps were rebaited and reset. On the

Tolmiei warbler in a willow in the cow
pasture (large flat) and about 200 feet above
camp a blue jay Aphelocoma woodhouseii.
In the afternoon, put up one Eutamias
m. pictus, one Peromyscus maniculatus and
one Microtus mordax; also two birds.
