Ojelvie 1942 Journal May 24 Cedar Grove, S Fork King R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. A & Ceromycus was collected by trunk for other side of bridge. The other traps which were set along the Pack Station road along dead logs, etc. yielded nothing. The bait was same & not tampered with. At the top of a Black Oak a & Tanayr was observed singing. Below on same limb [was] a Warbling Vireo. Both were watched for some mins. In afternoon went in search of lizards. The skink by the granite outcroppings was seen and many attempts were made to catch it. It was light dark brown with 2 [yellowish] stripes down back. Tail was also darkish in color. It was fairly slow moving but it had such a narrow head & body, it was slippery enough to slip out of the noose. Another skink with a blue tail was seen in burnt log. While in this region a large coyote - tan to buff color with a large bushy tail tipped with black - came trotting by. It was seen again a short distance from this area. The ranger later said it was a frequent visitor to the park. At foot of Sheep Creek tail a youngish Sceloporus was caught. At 5:00 pm. set about 12 traps baited with meat, down by entrance of Sheep Creek into King R. and along the grassy meadow some yds. from the King R. To the southeast of the camp. Mr. & Mrs. Dixon ate supper with the group. 6 trout had been donated by neighboring campers. Jean Russell & I then set 31 traps baited with nuts or oatmeal peanut butter mix down by the ranger's barn and neighboring region. On way back went to the Robin's nest for side of bridge. Accidentally scared & Robin from nest. We watched some distance away. She flew to nearby pine and gave a steady, single call note. After a while this note subsided & she began to preening. I arrived after about 15 min. In 30 min. neither had gotten on nest.
