I understand that the only game wardens in this vicinity are the state highway patrol officers. They would hardly seem able to patrol so large an area adequately as their duties must confine them largely to the highways. 35 mice traps were set in the sagebrush along the Deschutes R. at camp. I again attempted bat shooting but none were seen flying. It is still cold and windy. However, I did shoot 1 nighthawk which was flying low over the sagebrush near camp. It was shot about 8:45 P.M. A great blue heron was seen flying along the Deschutes R. July 5 Columbia R., at mouth of Deschutes R.
