Aug 23 Yesterday found about 6 large masses (1-2 qts.)
of droppings 1-inch in diameter and composed exclusively
of grasshoppers. Some droppings on some of the hills
were moist and fresh, all except 1 pile were on
tops of rocks outcroppings out in the prairie (where grasshopper
are abundant); one was at the foot of a tree in a patch of
oaks in the prairie.
