A few Quercus douglasii are growing along the base of the north facing slope to our west. Walked about in the cottonwoods after lunch. Collected a & Western Tanager, Say, Pthocbe, & Pileolated Warbler. Mounted them and later Paul Deknel and I walked up a canyon on the hills to the west to the top & back. Saw gnatcatcher (sp?), Rock Wren, Calif Jay, Calif Quail, At the {probably many Mourning Dove Blue gray At the tops of the draws near the ridge of the hills the walls of the draws are almost cliffs and are spotted with Junipers, some of good size up to 20 ft high. Animal life seems good on the hillsides. Saw several groups of gopher burrows, small rodent burrows and one large burrow, possibly tadger. After dinner ran 50 traps in a line from middle of sandy wash across bank to or west and up the hillside through the Paplopapus, past two Juniper Trees to a point about halfway up hillside.
