We reached the spring about 3 P.M. ( All times given in Pacific Daylight Saving Time = 1 hr. later than standard ) Dixon + Bailey took exploratory walks around the area while I set up bird traps by the spring (See diagram at end of this trip journal) Watched the traps for the rest of the afternoon but drew a complete blank on Cassin finches.
