Murray 1948 68 Journal May 17 Irreinfo, 1700 ft., Baja California In the traps got 2 ♀ Perognathus baileyi, 2 ♂, 2♀ Perognathus spinatus. Animal life seems quite abundant here. Today several times hunted around the area. Shot 2 Citellus leucurus, one running among rocks and the other in bushes. It ran along a branch about a foot off the ground. The corral in which I set traps has proven to be abounding with life. Saw 2 Citellus leucurus there, and at various times many lizards. There are Callisaurus draconoides and a Sceloporus magister within, and several Cnemidophorus hypsitherus and tesselatus living in the brush fence. Mexican ground doves, quail, and a road runner also entered. Perhaps the fact it is ungrazed has some effect. Saw one snake which I couldn't identify with black body and tan head. Might be Coluber flagellinus. Have seen a phainopepla, and a western quatcatches around camp. Also heard cactus wrens and a cardinal Again set out 50 live traps, this time up the center and along the rocky side of the wash, in deep sand and among ramajo
