Murray 1948 Journal June 29 10 mi SE Mesquital, 400 +/- ft., Baja Calif. Three brush rabbits close together and a pair of Calif Quail. Every day several American ravens fly croaking overhead. Today several turkey vultures and a caracara appeared to feast on some rat bodies. Costa hummingbirds sometimes come around camp. Reptiles are scarce. I have seen 1 Callisaums, 1 Cnemidophorus tesselatus, and 1 Urosaurus microcattatus, although there would be more in the washes. Set out 100 live traps, all on similar ground not far from camp. Aside from the washes, the only variation in terrain is two sections devoted almost entirely to a small rounded bush about a foot high and growing from one to three feet apart. Water apparently would stand in these during heavy rains, puddling from a bit of a crust on the surface which is otherwise the same. Several traps ran through the edge of such ground. Saw three verdins together late in the afternoon. June 30 Same location In 100 traps caught 3 f, 2 g Perognathus baileyi, 2 g Dipodomys merriami, and 4 Dipodomys agilis which were released (see p. acct.) Dug around in several old looking gopher
