S. side Thompson Canyon, 3500 ft., Walker Basin,
Kern Co., Calif., Oct. 16, 1933.
didn't see a one tonight.
Ray got a new species of birds for
the camp today, and saw two other new
species further down the canyon. He
shot two Alaskan (?) hermit thrushes
in the willows near camp. He saw a
pair of prairie falcons down in the basin,
and he shot a mourning dove 305 yds.
below the camp.
Oct. 17, 1933.
I got two new species of birds from
for the camp today, a stellar jay, and a
red naped sapsucker. I shot the jay
out of a blue oak at the edge of basin
creek. I shot the sapsucker out of a
locust tree here at camp, also I shot (
two ruby-crowned kinglets out of willows
in basin creek.
My basin creek trap line yielded
nothing. However I got a dipo out of
my traps in the grass near the tent. That
makes seven! genera that I've taken out
of a space 20 by 20 feet!! I also caught
two reithros in the same place.
