In the afternoon went with Johnson E to
where the road crosses Panoche Creek. At that
locality, Panoche Cr., 1000 ft., 4 mi. E Panoche,
San Benito Co., Calif., hunted up the creek. The
creek is rather slow flowing and there are few
trees in the creek bottom. The creek bottom is
largely covered with creeping grass (salt? grass)
with rushes and tules right along the creek.
In the tules shot 2 Yellow-throats and 1 Red-
winged Blackbird. In the large tree to baccos
shot 2 Anna Hummingbirds.
At this locality, also set 41 mus. spearmouse
traps. 28 of these were set in damp runways
in the tules and rushes and 13 were set on
sandy second bottom by small bushes 1-2
ft. high.
