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.
