july 23 a few big quena trees, lots of droolings. night clear, frost and some ice on stream. my traps can't only 2 mice, and these were in the grass in the first few traps at the bottom of the line (1 alcedo annae, 1 colaptes sorellus). nothing up the rocky canyon. In the afternoon drove 25 min to a hole looking for hummingbird country, but nothing good. Saw another vothere. at 5:30 set 36 shermons, half along a stone wall running along aridge - bunchgrass and abrygicarpine structure with lots of open ground, and half in the thick grass meadow where colaptes and bolomys came from last night. An indiam appeared at suffertime with two chickchulka which are now ours. july 24 (weds) night clear, some ice in truck, maybe 20 deg F. My traps along the stone wall on the ichu - abrygicarpine hill caught three ph osidos and 1 alcedo bolmenis; in the thick meadow can't 2 colaptes sorellus, 1 alcedo bolmenis, and 1 colaptes duvella. at 9:30 drove south Lynn to the bottom of "Dorste" hummingbird canyon, +/- 8 km from the Hacienda, then walked up along the clear streams. The canyon narrows as you go up a few km. Saw 1 good cave (with clauderal humming nest), and three other nests on smooth cliff overhangs on the sunny side of the canyon. (The cave was on the shady side). As the canyon narrows there is [illegible] quena tree appear, and on one slope is a "forest" of puya much riber than at the Hacienda.
