21 Aug.
Saw a Shrike as well. Saw Prairie Falcon
over the pasture land in the valley floor
south of camp.
Set out trap line of 75 traps on west
side hillside at mouth of large wash north
of campsite. Ran traps from middle way
up hillside down onto "fan" at mouth
of canyon.
Aug 22.
Checked trap lines first thing. Didn't catch
much but got some variety. Perognathus californicus,
ins. Dipodomys, ins Reithrodontomys, and an
Onychomys torridus. After running trap lines
walked up through the cottonwoods along
the stream side south of camp. Collected
Pileolated Warbler, Warbling Vireo, Hutton
Vireo. Saw a Red-tailed Hawk during our
walk. Also many Yellow & Pileolated Warblers
in the trees. Dehnol took a shot at
a male Western Tanager but he got away.
Came back to camp. Put up an
Epsteinus I shot last night. Put up
skins till 3:00 PM. Then drove to
Shandon for water. Saw plenty of
Sunsets along the road there. Also
several Western Kingbirds, Dark Sparrows,
and a dead Beechy (?) Ground Squirrel
on the road.
