Murres of some sort + Oslevers Warblers.
Finches of some sort could also be heard.
We set our traps around the Zonal &
Meadows. The land is very swampy
and abounds in Cat Tails, horse-
[illegible]
& various other types of marsh
growth. We divided up, setting our
traps through the meadowland.
I was setting mine on the East(?) side
along the willows). As we worked
thru the water setting traps, we,
naturally, put up markers on the
willow boughs which leaned over
the water. I was somewhat surprised

from red marker to red marker after
the fashion of a hummingbird
going from bushbird bushbird. I think
it is here we have some precise indi-
cating that the Hummer depends a
great deal on his sight & color vision
for his food... Our traps set all'd.
We arrived, very wet + sorry looking
specimens of humanity, onto the trail
& retraced, rather rapidly, the trail
