June 12 La Laguna, 6200-ft, Rivera de la Laguna, Baja California
at this time. One told us that each family
gets an average of two deer per month
throughout the year from this region.
Was told today that it snows occasionally here.
The time of snowfall is usually in February, and
very little at a time; it usually snowing at night
and all melting the following day.
Dr. Beron caught one of the Mexican's dogs
in a steel set last night. The dog started howling
at 11:00 P.M. and was subsequently released.
Despite its spindly condition of the small dog
it suffered no more than a very slightly bruised
foreleg and was perfectly normal the morning.
Neotoma lepida are common here being caught
in prickly pear patches in th flat and along
the stream near camp.
Tevis caught an Alligator lizard along
the banks of canyon exit stream yesterday.
I have seen the following birds to date:
Plumbecous grnatcatcher feeding in oak trees
on north side of La Laguna.
Bush-tit - common in oaks and willows - very
tame.
California Woodpecker - several seen in dead
pine tree near stream exit.
Junco - very common - seen mostly feeding
in and around sparse composite plants in
