P. PEARSON 1962 +3 steel traps with abundant porous rocks, boulders, various chapparal plants including the big green efledra-into them. Evening mild + clear, a couple of flocks of 30+ black thrush? flew down toward Berlin in late afternoon: Jan.3 thrush? flew back seaward in morning. My traps had 1 Chrocamp?, 2 Woodson holin., + Phyllisla (at least one of them a big, short-tail-fellow, but not Anderson's I think). Dropped around hill to come on west side - a big hillside cave [illegible] but not really durlz. A hummer nest on ceiling with large young, enormous numbers of (o) bird droppings in one heap (several buckets), and a pair of horn? owls flew out, but could find no pellets. Turned mostly at dusk. Saw at least 1/2 dozen swallows go to roost in a hole in cliff, the opening only 7 x 4". Put out about 15 more m.s and 6 steel traps, all neat holes, all around the bottom of a cliffs. Jobslighted from 12 - 2 a.m., In the near crevice cave (2 to 4ft wide, 15ft high, 20+ ft. deep) caught a sparrow hawk which was warm but reluctant to fly. Clipped the net over the nest and got all 3 in the nest but 2 got out in confusion being me with a g that I think was the mother. It 21 gallet temp. was 36°, the nest 14°, th outdoor air 7½°. In the morning when I released her, her gallet temp. was > 7°. The & starting guard over this cave was a rather dull fellow with mid.-reded from stroke. The crevice at the base of the nest was only 8 inches wide, and the down air for the nest was well spluttered
