Remson, J.V. 1975 Journal Dec. 10 Eastern Mohave Desert. Areg: from Hole-in-the-Wall to Cedar Canyon to Pinto Valley to 4th of July Cyn. to Cedar Cyn to Live Oak Spring. Pinto Valley is overgrazed and has very little birdlife. Fourth of July Canyon is pinyon-juniper-oak j; the oaks are in dense thickets and some are 15-20' tall; there wasn't much birdlife, possibly due to a lack of water - I only found one 6" diameter shallow pool. The road to Live Oak Spring goes through a fairly dense Joshua Tree woodland with dense shrubby undergrowth; the last 1/4 mile of the road is terrible. I could not find Live Oak Spring and there was not a single bird in the vicinity.

Foshay Pass is mostly cholla and yucca; what junipers there are are mostly burned; very little (actually none) birdlife evident. Globe Canyon is mostly yucca and cholla with some fairly good clumps of catclaw and desert-willow in the wash; up higher, pinyon and juniper mingle with the yucca and cholla but nowhere make continuous stands - not much birdlife, especially below the pinyon and juniper where only one loggerhead shrike and one Red-tailed Hawk were seen despite lots of looking; habitat looked good for Cactus + Bewick's Wren
