PEARSON 1951-1952 sternwigs oprimus skept about 2 being near previously worked diggings. Most were either additions to yesterday's piles or new piles only a few feet (namely about 3) away. Saw 3 times while doing the rounds, 2 of them quite tame and allowing approch to about 20 ft. One left the burrow (not recently dug) several times about 1 1/2 ft. and scratched + muddled at plants. You can frequently see their scratchings in the sand. Wounded one at a burrow and tried to dig him out. Followed tunnel about 20 ft. to under a tuba + then under a big stone slab. Several short blind den/tunels, tunnel number more than a foot below surface. Ended up at a nest under the slab. A few cupsful of old moldy droppings and old cut grass, then a handful of new dry grassment in length of a few inches. also several big "eading" parameters such as me found on a previous specimen. Jan. 13 Add to associates in the Feature - rock area Elguno/Estria, tood 3506, Duriegon, vicino. Went to my watching rocks about 7 but neither of the closest 2 trees were digging (infact neither had dug by noon. Morning was sunny and warmer than yesterday. The third of these trees began digging at 7:15 about 2 ft. from yesterday's dig. At 7:45 one near Buec was digging and another had already dug. The baby appeared at the same feature hole about 8:15. Shot him. Went over my camera area at 10 and added 11 new boxes = 11 new piles and again at 11:30 and added 3 more. also started haneasting the area by shooting a fat station 21. at 3-4 p.m. set 15 Monabell gophes traps, at level of the new diggings: stations 2, 3, 9, 11, 11, 12, 13, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21 +
