Itinerary
Crooked R. at Bear Cr.
among the junipers. The Peromyscus truei was caught in the gully among thick junipers and rocks. In the evening I shot one small Motis along the R. Bats were not seen flying until about 8:30 P.M.
The country about this camp seems to be fairly good for grazing. Cattle are ranged here and are present in fair numbers at the present time. The river bottom land is largely under fence and there are numerous patches of alfalfa. Bunch grass is quite abundant.
Other species of birds and mammals seen or evidenced were: Hilders and spotted sandpipers along the R. A kingfisher's nest was found in a sand bank near the mouth of Bear Cr. Deer tracks were seen on two occasions on the lower slopes. Bobcat tracks were seen along the river and among the junipers. A few cottontails were observed in the sagebrush and Chrysotamnus. Arkansas kingbirds, ravens, and brewer blackbirds were also noted. Stains from the urine of Necstoma cinerea were numerous on the higher rim-rocks.
