series of sand dunes east of the main road
8 miles. Set out 55 traps here along
sides and tops of dunes, finally turning
line down to almost flat country
a few hundred feet away from last
dune towards another dune extending
far to the west. Coyote tracks very abundant.
A number of bushes grow
on the dunes.
This A.M. The dunes produced
1 light colored Microdipodes, one specimen (309)
being taken almost on
the flat country between the two last
dunes; 2 Dipodomys merriami, 1 Dipod-
omys leipes, and 1 Dipodomys
Odocomyx c. brevicaudus.
This traps farther north by the
small lake contained 3 dark Kangaroo
Rice, 1 Bunomysus sp. omnivorus,
and 1 Dipodomys leipes.
In the lake were: 1 Avocet, 1 Willet,
1 Phalarope (too far to classify), and
a flock of ducks (too far off for id-
entification, but showing a white malar
stripe), probably Ruddy Ducks.
