May 6 Bahía Concepción, 13 mis E Mulegé, Baja Calif.
and a shell fragment gravel. 5 were on
a salt flat section next to the mangroves
with salicornia, some large leafy bushes-
very salty crust. 15 were on an arm of
shell fragment gravel which extended up
the hillside among large rocks. There were
a few palo verde, copals. 15 were on a
fairly flat area of small rock at the base
of the hillside where I trapped before. Vegetation
was thin - mostly creosote and copal.
May 7 Same locations
There were 2 Perognathus spinatus in
the 15 traps along the cliff; 1 spinatus in
the salt marsh (edge, 30 ft. from rocks), 1 on
the shell fragment hillside. Those among
the rocks were empty but about 8 in one
group were spring.
Saw 2 oyster catchers flying close
together, giving shrill crys. They dropped
down close to the water and flew quite
a distance in that manner.
Today we got several large conches from
a fisherman and tried them for lunch.
They were a little tough but fine eating.
Caught with a long rake and a row boat.
We left in the afternoon, traveling on
a very rocky road partly on the cliffs
