Ogilvie 1942 journal May 27 Cedar Grove, S. Fork Tingu., 4600ft, Fresno Co., Calif. Left camp at 7:00am with Mr. Dixon for Zumwalt Meadows. Day was clear & cold. When we passed by rat traps by woodrat holes, nothing was found. Saw 2 beautiful Gray squirrels in tall pine tree. Reached Zumwalt [illegible] found none of my traps sprung. One member found a Song sparrow, another a Microstus. Mr. Dixon found a Gartersnake. Mr. Dixon shot a Song sparrow, a ♀ Redwinged Blackbird, a Calif. Linnet (Purple Finch), & a Western flycatcher. I attempted to catch a large ♂ Sceloporus unguiculatus on the rocks behind meadow, but 2 got away. Returned home for lunch 1:00 pm. About 6:00pm Mr. Dixon led group to mt. side to northeast camp. Traps were set as follows - each person keeping a distinct trap line: I set 15 traps in no. 2 position - placing them among thick bushes & beside rocks. May 28 Left camp at 7:00am to check traps on hill. Cold & clear morning, some low clouds on mountains. Found that none of my traps had been touched. Left them as they were. On way home saw a water Dayer (Dipper) fly from under bridge. Came back & set under bridge. Saw the Dippers nest under girders. ♂ & ♀ were standing on rocks bobbing up & down & flew with fluttering wing beats into nest, [illegible] & went right under it. They are dark grey with very short tails. Later male was seen feeding female. She flew to nest & entered from side entrance. Jean Gunnick & I hiked at 9:00am down east side of river. Ate lunch on way. Hiked past Zumwalt Meadow
