P. PEARSON 1950 shot at the fledgling to get both it and the parent as it was being fed. They moved into denser brush, however, so I decided to take one while I could get it. Used .22. Almost before the wires (S 2089) hit the ground (certainly within 1/2 second) an iguavid (2087) darted out of the bush, grabbed it in its mouth, and started off with it. Since iguavids have been hard to come by, I fired another .22 at the back end of the lizard. This made it drop the wires, which I retrieved. Since the lizard was a nice medium-sized one for pickling, I decided this was an appropriate one to collect. Had no more case shells, so dumped 3/4 of the shot out of a #8 full load and collected him with this. Even so he lost the top of his head at such close range. June 19 Cloudy at dawn and for most of day except for about 2 or 3 hours of sun in the middle of the day. Temp at 1:30 under tarp 31°. On my way to my trap at dawn I flushed a quail across the stream about 100 yds from camp. I stood still looking for the mate but saw instead a bush dog watching me, just within range. It stood still while I reloaded with #42, so I shot it. Gave the impression of a very delicate fox. Stomach full of grasshoppers, grass, and 1 mouse. Only 1 mouse intact: an immature Onyongus. Last night and today were the first 24 hours without precipitation, covering the wet and dry seasons. Almost everyone I have talked to so far claims that the rainy season is in November-December and thereafter, and that the dry season is now overdue by a couple of months: should have begun back Feb or March.
