French Gulch, 6700 ft., Piute Mts.,
Oct. 27, 1933.
I saw many band tailed pigeons
today, many pygmy nut hatches, and
a good sized flock of mountain quail.
Besides these I saw the usual run of
juncos, jays, flickers, woodpeckers,
chicadees, purple finches, grosbeaks,
sparrows, and bluebirds. Ray shot
a eutamias quadrivitatus up the
canyon, among rocks, and in the
same locale with the merriami
chipmunk.
Last night I had the unique
experience of finding a bird which
I had shot three days ago, and
which I could not find at the
time. The bird was an evening gros-
beak, male.
For some reason we have been
unable to get any more brush rab-
bite. Ray has traps set where he took
the first one, and where I set saw-
another, but they have caught nothing.
Though he hunts there both morning
and evening he has been unable to
see another.
