46-1933 53 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.
