M. Robin, 1942 Journal Cedar Grove, 5 Fork Kings R., 4,600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. May 24, 1942 We set out at six-thirty to examine our traps. Of the 22 set, one had been sprung and the bait was gone; the others were intact. On the way across to our trap line, we saw a Daisy Woodpecker; the Robin was still sitting on her nest. Our traps had again been set southeast of camp, across the bridge. I spent the morning stuffing a mouse which Mrs. Grennell had caught in the tent eating our avocados. This mouse was a ? containing 6 endigos. After lunch, at about 1:10, J. Crowley and I set out Salsporus hunting. The day was very warm & sunny almost sultry. We walked to the Ranger Cabin, East of Camp & followed the paved road which leads, eventually, to the Service Road. We arrived at the closed camp (Sentinel ?) but were unable to find the tree containing the Chipping Sparrow's nest, which we had marked yesterday. We saw quite a few birds which we attempted to identify with the aid of field glasses. Found a great many Salsporus about, but the day was warm & they were very active,
