R.J. Raitt 1956 Journal 6 March 29, Mohave River, 4 mi E + 1 mi N Midway, San Bernardino Co., Calif. /450 ft, Got up at about 6 AM and after a night warmer than the previous one. Arrived at the river at about 6:30 and went downstream instead of up. The physical and vegetational picture is essentially as described in yesterday's journal except that the stream in this stretch is better confined by its banks and there are thicker and higher rushes lining the banks. Again the Myrtle and Audubon Warblers were common and Black Phoebes (2) were feeding over the stream. Phainopeplas were seen in the taller and thicker clumps of Screwbean and Mesquite. I shot a g in a screwbean but got no opportunity to collect a 9 as they are more wary. Although I noticed no Verdins yesterday, they seemed abundant this morning. I collected one in a screwbean and we saw and heard them often while we were in the river bed. Marsh Wrens were again heard from the streamside vegetation. We hunted only until about 8:30 when we returned to camp. At about 10:30 we packed up and drove into Yermo to meet Vic and Jerry Lewin with their two daughters. They got there at about 11:45, and, after a trip to Calico and vicinity we got back to camp at about 2:30 or 3:00 PM. It was quite warm and without shade, and so we decided to take the advice of some friendly boy scouts and look over the camping possibilities
