P. PEARSON 1952 64 wooded canyon outside (and slightly above) town, after dawn saw 2 birds of deer, a "Ceruse" at high levels and a "Verotus" at "intermediate" altitudes. The "Verotus" has as many as 6 or 7 branches to the bone. May 11 Absence in my traps. After breakfast climbed up onto the althlora, at 12,300 ft. ichn, tota, and some lowland shrubs, at 13,000ft. mostly ichn, some tota, lowland shrubs, and ground brownbirds. Saw buzzard at 14,000 and 14,600ft, minutas 13,200. Above the ichn instead of coming to Festuca outthylora you came to sodded turf, green, made up of the Mother greens (closely cruffed by all species etc) other short grasses, a dust of Pyrosophyllum and an inconspicuous little spring plant. Numerous Distichia clumps, but no big yartsa leads. What yartsa there is softer than regular, shallower. Camped at 14,650 ft. on a side road among numerous moronic-rocky slopes turf-grasses, zeepe. Heavily grazed. A few local areas of tota (a fleshy sage, bigger etc and more shrunk-like odor than the Pecosys sage). Lost traps along bottom of a low cliff. Saw Tamarixia triflaba. May 12 6 Phyllotris pictus in my traps. Other lined red pictus, pine chinchilla and zelekin. At dawn 3 or 4 groups of Tamarixia were calling. Saw one trio and shot a ? from it with big atrete follicles. 6:00 - 30° 7 - 340 8:40 - 40° - 62% 9:35 - 41 - 59 11:00 - 45 - 51% 12 - 49 - 49 1:30 - 54-38 3:15 - 53 - 35 4:00 - 49 - 37% 4:50 - 45° - 39% 7:30 - 35° - 62 Picked up my traps and set them at the bottom of Polizado across the valley. Good rocks, smelly sage, and a spring bunch grass something like Festuca outthylora but different.
