Oct 1931 1/2 mile S of Oak Spring, 5700 ft. Myc Co., Arv. Oaks. At 9 A.M. I went up canyon NW of camp, setting rat traps for Ammospermophilus and chipmunks. Went up to near top of butte, 6100 ft., setting traps beneath Junipers and Pinyons. Skt three Ammospermophilus leucurus, all at or near bottoms of canyons. Saw Black-throated Sparrows, Isbell Flycatchers, Sheik, Linnets, and Yellow American Goldfinches. Found a Bobcat skull on top of a rock up the canyon. #117 Lynx - Skull only #118 Psaracus furcatus - ♀ Wt. 20.6 gms. 184-98-25-12 #119 Ammospermophilus leucurus - ♂ Wt. 90.5 gms. 202-59-35-14 #120 Ammospermophilus leucurus - ♀ Wt. 96.6 gms. 172-(33)-35-13 #121 Ammospermophilus leucurus - ♀ Wt. 100 gms. 204-55-36-13 5:30 P.M. Traps contained no Ammospermoph- ulus. Saw a number of old coyote droppings. Heard a Canyon Wren this A.M. Thought it is cold and I saw no rats. May possibly be some correlation between these two facts.
