Dipos ordii and 4 Dipos leuco,
July 28 Fletcher. Put up late in the morning, then left for
Haulthorn. Stopped just over the divide to look for
crows on the S.E. slope of Cory Mtn. Found
drop-slings, hay piles, and heard crows calling but
didn't see any. Then went through Haulthorn and
drove up Corey Canyon to some mice on
the S.E. face of Big Indian Mtn near its top.
Saw crows there and missed some with the
shotgun in the late afternoon. Saw small
dragging in the dry rocky-sandy road shoulder
a little above the reservoir in Corey Canyon.
Slept in upper Cat Creek at about 9200 ft.
July 29 Fletcher. Hunted crows early in the
morning. We shot 11 between us and
saw a few more, then drove down Corey
canyon to the Reservoir to skin them. Looked
for moles in open gorges on the way down
and for more crows in a good big web
slide at about 8400 ft., but saw neither
crows nor moles. Did see moles in sand +
(tunnels)
sagebrush near Fletcher lava flows. Supper
of steak and watermelon with whisky jock at
Fletcher (Davis) and stayed with him overnight.
Four more bats in the old house were collected before bed.
