Page - 1933 S. side Thompson Canyon, 3900', Walker Basin, Kern Co., Calif. Oct. 5, 1933. was plain jay, an unknown hummingbird, an unknown (long eared or shorteared) ownl, and the common: Calif. jay, blue- bird, brown towhee, red tail hawk, kill- deer, flicker, red breasted sap sucker, green backed goldfinch, and white rowned sparrows. I also saw many mammals, cottontail rabbit, 1 jack rabbit, several chipmunks, and a large 5 point buck deer. I scared the deer out of the rocks at the top of the ridge. He ran a few feet, then stopped and looked at me. I could have got him with my shotgun. I would guess his weight to be 160 lbs. This afternoon I set out steel traps (4) for rabbit under the willows in basin creek, and 'd also set out 5 rat traps for chipmunks among the rocks and logs in basin creek. I have taken up all my mouse and gopher traps with the exception of those at camp. This evening I shot a female grey squirrel, me tilmouse, and one pig'shelleas. No. "215", The Solex, was trapped by R.M. Silmac, along with the miewtus under willows in grass. He got the mice also.
