1936.
January
Laguna Ranch, San Benito Co. (cont'd)
July 15 cont'd. gone to King City & should return in the afternoon
to hunt.
We waited to get permission to camp from Mr. Eade.
Late in the afternoon looked into a small cabin
and scared up a bat which fluttered around
the room. I finally swatted it with my hat. The
commotion scared out another bat which Johnson
swatted. These turned out to be Myotis volans,
mine a ? and Johnson's a 9.
Mr. Eade had not showed up by dark so we went to
bed.
This A.M., July 15, found out that Mr. Eade will
be back some time today. We hope to get camp
set up sometime but don't know when or where.
We also haven't permission to hunt so can't collect
much.
Took a bird census from 10 A.M. to 1. Started
from the cabin and went northwest along The edge
of the valley. From 10:10 - 11:00 A.M. walked
thru thickets of scrub Oak, wild cherry, wild rose,
small blue-oak and Calif. buckeye and on
grassy hillsides with white oak, Blueoak and
a few Digger pine. In the 50 minutes, recorded
124 birds of the 25 species following column I.
From 11:00 - 12:10 took census in Coletio Pine, 40-60 ft.
high, Large Black Oaks & a few Valley Oak on open
& grassy beneath. recorded 99 birds of 18 species.
