M. Redow, 1942 Journal Cedar Grove, 3. Fork Kings R., 4,600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. May 27, 1942 Followed the trail back just beyond the Roaring River Falls. On the way I caught one Scaclaptra, which I safely tucked into my bag. I caught another & was surprised to see him turn & snap at me. Investigation showed that he had four ticks in back of his left ear & 3 (buried deep) in back of his right ear. I wanted to get the ticks out without hurting them & so did not put him into the bag. The result was that I lost both birds & ticks. Got back to the car at 3:40 p.m. & came straight back to camp. After dinner Mr. Orion Dole us down to the hotel Beck region where J. Crowley & I set 21 traps. On the way down, I stopped & found the Robin still sitting on her nest We went to the house [illegible] & met a family of people who were temporarily in charge there. Came back to camp at 8:00 p.m. or so and then fixed lights & wrote notes for awhile. Species seen: 1. Grey Squirrel 2. Purple Finch 3. Blue-Grey Sparrows 4. Ground Squirrel 5. Swift 6.
