192 - 1933 60 Thompson Canyon, Walker Basin, Oct. 19, 1933 241 Sorex ♂ wt: 3.5 107-42-12.5-9 242 Sorex ♀ wt: 3.5 107-42-12-9 243 Reithrodonomys ♂ wt: 10 140-78-18-14 245 Neotoma ♂ wt: 292 420-210-40-33 246 Eutamias ♂ wt: 72 242-105-36-22 247 Sylvilagus ♀ wt: 782 380-65-88-84 I caught nothing in traps in the grass here at camp. Am I at last emptying that small area of mammals! I caught a fine pack rat in a trap I had set for chipmunk in the bottom of basin creek. It's a dry, bushy bottom, and there are pack rat nests near. I shot a chipmunk off some rocks at the edge of the creek. I shot a pine siskin off some rabbit brush at the edge of the willow thickets. I shot a lark sparrow and a purple finch off a tall willows. I shot another purple finch and a stellar jay out of a digger pine. I shot two redwing blackbirds out of a flock of five which were in the reeds above my camp. Ray shot a funny red-wing blackbird. It had an elongated upper mandible. I raised out a marsh hawk and a red tail from the creek, but didn't get a shot at them. I did shoot a cotton-tail from the creek, and a fulvous warbler from willows near camp.
