April 25 1/2 mile road south of El Mamo? 2200 ft Baja Calif.
rat signs among the boulders.
Shot two Brush Rabbits this morning,
but did not put up the specimens, one being
immature, the other being badly mutilated.
We fried them for breakfast. Dr. Benson put
up a immature specimen he shot.
I set out 50 live traps last night
and could find only 49 of them this morning.
Caught were 1 Dipodomys agilis, 2 Dipodomys
ericemi, and 1 Peromyscus fallor.
No bats were seen at dusk last night,
but one was heard after dark.
April 25 Mina La Fortuna 2350 ft 2 mi Laguna Seca Chapala Baja Calif.
Arrived here at dusk after a very rocky,
bumpy ride from our last camp. We left the
previous location about 1:00 P.M. and passed
through boulder country and then lower
country on our trip. Very tall palms were
present near Catavina and also at and
near houses south of it. The Cardonier
and Cirio thinned with the disappearance
of the boulders and gave way to barrel cactus
and DeTillo in its latter half of the
days trip. Cirio can still be seen
however on the mountainsides.
Seen during the trip were two Antelope
Chipmunks and one Red-tailed hawk.
