20 Oct 1931 SW base Groom Baldy, 1200 feet, Lincoln Co., Nevada May 29, 1936 ated warblers, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Pinyon Jays, Spurred Towhees are all quite abundant in the vicinity of camp. The Bewlking and Picolated Warblers stay mostly in the Oaks and willows. The Grassbecks and Robins are found both in the Willows and Pines. The Pinyon Jays, I have seen only in the conifers. Saw a sandpiper along the stream flowing from the Spring. Sawight three Collontails (Sylvicolaeus multalli) were feeding on the lawn on the edge of the sage brush. One lay on its side under some brush until I approached within 20 feet of it, then it bounded off to the clearer brush, the tail being very conspicuous. Saw a rock squirrel (Citellus grammurus) forther up the canyon behind the Spring, sitting on top of a large boulder. Set out 54 traps this evening. Heard a number of Poor-wills calling. Shot a large brown bat that was flying fairly straight along the stream. Proved to be Episcius fuscus. Did not make a squeaking noise when it was feeding about the water.
