E.V. Haller 1940 7 General Account. Beld-Tailed Crakes and English Sparrows were the only prominent birds now in Jaredo. March 23 We got across the border in early afternoon, ate at a Mex- can restaurant and drove S on the main highway to Monterrey, New Mexico. Mex. 38 miles out from Jaredo, we turned off the main highway to the E m[thru] a dirt road to Guerrero. This was in bad shape due to a recent rain. We drove down this road a mile and camped to the left of it about 100 yds. To the northwest we could see a small pond about 3/4 mile distant. In the late afternoon I set out 50 wooden mouse (Baited with bird seed & oatmeal) traps on rocky (small) ground among fairly open brush about 4 to 5 ft. in height and resembling Beanthuis ? set out also 10 No 1 Schryler traps around wood-set (Baited with dried apricots). nests among prickly pear cactus. Then walked about a mile or more in a circle N of camp with my 16 gauge. Near camp I shot a Cottontail. After dark I heard bats flying about giving a high pitched call note, also heard coyotes yapping at sunset. Saw Desert Sparrow, Bewick Wren and Raven. Heard other birds. Visited my traps after dark - nothing in them - about 1/5 min. to 9 PM. March 24 Began raining early in morning. We were in the tent but, not having it pitched completely the floor was soon muddy. Rained harder and harder throughout the morning. We picked up our traps. I took 4 Neotoma micropus, 2 ?, 2 ?; 1 ? Perognathus merriamii; 1 ? Dipodomys merriami; 2 ? Peromyscus leucopus (immatures).
