S. side Thompson Canyon, 3900', Walker Basin,
Kern Co., Calif. Oct. 5, 1933.
I did not reset my traps last
night, so my catch was accordingly
small this morning. I caught four
Lipos & one Peromyscus maniculatus,
all out of sage-rabbit brush assoc-
iation.
I spent the whole morning hunting.
I hunted up basin creek, and then up
and over the rocky ridge. I shot a
male quail out of a flock feeding on
a ledge at the edge of basin creek. I
shot a nutall woodpecker out of a
digger pine at the edge of the creek.
I shot a spotted towhee & a western
warbling (?) vireo out of willows brush in
the creek. Off a rock on the side of the
rocky mountain I shot a rock wren.
I shot a plain titmouse out of a blue
oak on the top of the ridge. I shot a
poor will flushed out of the rocks on the
hill slope. I shot a fox spanow out of
some scrub oak on the top of the ridge.
Back in the creek I shot a male
hairy woodpecker out of a digger pine, and
a junco out of a cottonwood. Lastly I
shot a slender billed nuthatch out of
a digger pine near the creek.
Birds that I saw but didn't get
