This morning early Alcorn left since he
couldn't do any trapping. I drove to Baker
& called the Neb. Fish & Game in Elq telling
them where we were camped. This was
done since they were so generous to give
us a permit to take 4 grouse. Actually
one is supposed to call in after cornering
said grouse in a tree. Usually though
the bird won't sit still while one helper
drove 40 mi. to nearest phone.
Stopped down canyon on return from
Baker and hunted for awhile along cotton-
wood & willows along stream and out in
adjacent juniper/pinon slope. Heard
several spotted towhees in streamside thickets.
No did not see any woodpeckers. Saw
several brush tits in Pinons & took the
one Titmouse that was singing all over
the place but was hard to approach.
The Wright Flycatcher was in willows
along stream. This bird's skull was not
closed & bird very-very fat. Not a live rabbit
seen all day. One or two killed on road.
They are definitely down in numbers.
Not a chipmunk or Golden-mantle seen.
A dusk I'd & drove up road above
camp to around 8800 ft. with intention
