R.C. Russell Canon del Alamo, 7300 ft, Sierra del Nido, Chih., Mexico. June 15, 1959 The screech owl had been feeding on caterpillars and the pygmy owl had a stomach full adult insect material. The stock tank, very low now was made by throwing a low earth dam across the meadow. Turkeys, coyotes & deer have watered there so I made 1 steel set of 2 #3 traps near the waters. Baited by burying a jack- rabbit carcass some is away. Much sign of gophers, though traps are having trouble finding fresh workings. June 16 1959 Hunted E from camp into higher country mostly to get an vset to see what was beyond. Upon reaching crest found, gently rolling country covered with heavy stand of tall dry grass with widely scattered large bldes, Very little pine. Spent so much time walking and so little time shooting that I wound up with no specimens. A coyote, presumably, ate up the rabbit as bait but didn't disturb the traps. Another trap was put in closer to bait and the place scotched with 1 rotten Widgeon. This time bait was staked down.
