Ogilvie 1942 Journal May 26 Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 7600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. Set along south side of the meadows. A number of Red-wing Blackbirds were resting in meadows. The M's were conspicuous on Willows, etc. around. F's were occasionally seen. They are brownish with brown or white speckled breast. Three or four Olive-green swallows were flying across meadow. Song Sparrows were present also. They have a lovely song - different from Berkeley Sparrows. A Allen Hummingbird was heard & then seen on very top twig of a willow tree. On way back several lizards were caught, and birds of same type as those seen coming to meadows. It was cloudy & rained slightly on way home. 8 Rat traps were set by wood-rat houses. May 28 Left camp at 9:00 am to check traps. Mr. Dixon led way. He killed a Flycatcher with a police revolver using duat shot. He stuffed mouth with cotton immediately to prevent digestive fluids from running out & soiling feathers. He then placed bird head downward in cone of paper V. Also he killed a Paleolated Warbler (bright yellow breast, black top of head). Saw several Wood Pewees (flycatcher). Nests are usually found in fork of tree. Many service berries were in bloom. When traps were reached, nothing was found in mine. However a Microtus and a Peromyscus truei were caught. Mr. Dixon shot a Song Sparrow. I caught a Sceloporus angulatus on the large rocks below Grand Sentinel. Across river a large rubber snake was caught, while in the meadow a alligator lizard was caught.
