Thompson Canyon - Walker Basin Oct. 20, 1933. This is our last day in this camp. Tomorrow we are going to shift camp to Pinte mt. Ray hunted in basin creek with me this morning, but neither of us had much luck. I shot only a male purple finch. In one bigger pine on the ridge I saw about 8 stellar and 12 calif. jays. I saw the jack snipe in camp again this morning. I also saw a dove here this morning, the first time I've seen one here. My traps in the grass patch at last have failed to bring in anything. This grass patch of which I have spoken, is to the naked eye, nothing but tall, dead, wild parsley. But on looking closer two 6 inch rivulets (running water) may be seen on the ground they are edged with green grass and short, 14 inch reeds. It formed a permanent habitat for at least - withwo and permyeous. It also was visited more or less often by microtus, dipos, prognathus, solp, and thommys. Basin Creek proved to be a good hunting ground for both birds and mammals, and should we spend another week here
