Itinerary,
Cont'd. July 14. and watched two deer a doe and a two pointer come down a small side canyon to within 80 feet of where I crouched. The buck was very much more cautious than the doe. Made my way back over hill to Greenmonster Canyon. Saw two magpies, made camp at 6:30 pm.
July 15 went with Ward Russell and Jack Arnold to hunt piqua. Russell took two, Jack one, self none. Spent part of morning making up birds and a Calospermophilus. In the afternoon I made up the Sage hen.
July 16 Worked on notes. At 8:30 went bird hunting. Took 2 bluebirds, one Clark nutcracker and a warbling vireo The bluebirds were a ♂ and ♀ Sialia mexicana occidentalis. Both were taken at the same spot on a hill about ¼ of a mile above Wagon John's place. Took the Clark Nutcracker at the same spot. Took the Warbling Vireo near the Road in a willow clump about 400 feet E of Wagon Johns. Came to a Rock on the top of the hill with an arch through it. Crawled through the arch and found two Neotoma nests. Both were slightly covered with juniper cuttings.
