Carol Pearson 1969 Journal Pagan León Tree 17 July them in a jam jar at home, with an assortment of collembolus + insect A + small spider + small thysanuran. Mymol showed me the most fantastic spider that lives in the old cotton field by the beach. Its abdomen: [illegible] (more or less). More a shape a hemipteron would choose than a spider. 18 July Foggy, but almost sunny for awhile in late afternoon. Early to beach, saw that duck again - Anas bahamensis because head is brown not black, tuffy back border on wing. Then to study plot + did lge arth. counts (19), (20) and small arth. count 12. These counts on the west side turns up much fewer thysanurans. The Tilleandrie on this side seems to be shallower, not so much dead stuff buried in sand, more is just one layer sitting on sand. Late afternoon did another lge arth count and sat on hill facing NW from 5:30-6:30. Heard flock of about 4 birds go by with a few chips about 6:00; then about 2 birds with whistling wings like doves; then saw a dove. All heading away from cotton field + orchard toward plot. Before dusk RH saw probably Brehinius fly from down in arroyo to opposite hill. After dark OP + I saw a lge owl come fly above us. Spent night near study area. During night OP heard barn owl. 19 July About 6am 4 Perizes militaris zoomed in low from south, landed on slope just on plot side of irrigation,
