age-1933 56 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. 226 Reithrodontomys Q wt: 11 135-71-17-15 227 Dipodomys agilis & wt: 92 310-190-46-16
