Palmer 1936 January 1mi SE summit San Benito Mtn. (cont'd) Junco contd, Bewick Whene, Plain Titmouse, Black- Throated Gray Warbler, Bush Tits, Mourning Dove. In the few conifers saw several Wood Pewees. Two golden Eagles circled high overhead. Also heard Whe-wits but didn't see any. Returned to camp where I shot a Junco from the lower branch of a Digger Pine. June 10. This morning hunted from 5:30-7:30 up the same small canyon to the S of camp where I hunted yesterday. Shot a Bushtit in the chaparral. It had insects in its bill and was apparently feeding young but I couldn't locate the nest or young. Shot a spotted Towhee and an olive-sided Flycatcher and took a long shot at a golden Eagle but didn't get it. Saw no new birds and no more Black-chinned Sparrows. Shot a Eutamias merriami from the top of a large Boulder in the creek bed. About 11 A.M. went up the road (SE) and set 3 mole traps in fresh surface ridges. Saw 2 Hairy Woodpeckers in a large Digger Pine and a Chipmunk in the brush but had no gun. About 4:30 P.M. went out from camp and hunted over the N slope in conifers
