Palmer 1935 Itinerary Hole in the Ground, 1200 ft. cont'd. July 21. cont'd. Brush Rabbit run from the meadow into the brush. Heard a Chickaree and following it up found 2 chasing each other around in the tops of Tan Oak and Douglas Fir. Shot both Chickarees. Returned to camp. In the chaparral, on the way up, heard several Spotted Towhees, Wrentits and Chickadees. Saw Hermit Thrush, and Hermit Warbler and Steller Jay. Johnson went down & Winter Spring this afternoon and returned with a Spotted Towhee. In the evening went down to Hole in the Ground. Traps had caught 1 jnr. spotted Towhee during the day. Trapping has been poor here and we have decided to move tomorrow, so look in all traps. We stayed til dark, hoping to get some bat shooting but it started to rain rather steadily but lightly and the few bats seen were traveling low and fast. Several Nighthawks were flying around the "Hole" and apparently started flying earlier than the bats and paid less attention to the rain. Returned to camp about 9 P.M.
