16 mi. W Bend, 6500 ft., Deschutes Co., Oregon June 19, 1932. This a.m. I placed out two more gopher sets and 2 steel sets. The latter were placed in two holes, freshly excavated in the fir forest. These holes were approximately 8 in. in diameter and went nearly straight down into the ground for several feet. Placed out 10 more mouse traps in the fir & chaparral regions. Up top of a ridge 1/2 mi. N.W. of here I placed 5 mouse & 5 rat traps among the rocks. A few Yellow Pines occurred there. Among the rocks I shot 1 Cutamias turruscii + 1 C. amoenus.

Up in the chaparral at 7:09 a.m. Fox Sparrow could be heard singing. In one area 55 x 100 yards, three were heard singing.

The ♀ was ready to begin laying. About 5 feet from where I shot the ♀ I found
