14e - 1933. 74 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. 288 Eutamias merriami ♂ wt: 67.5 240-105-36-21 289 Eutamias merriami ♂ wt: 67 255-115-35-21 290 Eutamias merriami ♂ wt: 69 240-100-36-22
