French Gulch (Meadows), Piute Mts.,
Oct. 24, 1933.
the willows, a record. He also shot a
mourning dove, a grosbeak, and a spotted
towhee. I shot a sharp shinned hawk
from the top of a digger pine, a junco,
and a green tailed towhee. I heard
the call of the towhee first, and though
I hadn't seen the bird I knew the call
though, so I set and waited in the
bottom of the willows, I waited about
20 minutes, then saw him, too close for
a good shot, so I backed up as far
as I could and shot. The bird is
pretty well ruined. I doubt if Ray
can save it. I found good tracks
up the west canyon this morning; I
see coyote and bobcat. I'm going
to run a line of traps up there
tonight. I'm not going to write
too many notes now (its morning), I've
got too much to do.
