The country is rather barren; few birds seen from road. We drove through wide, flat valleys. Vegetation mainly mesquite and cactus; Cattonwoods along streams. At 6:00 P.M., we camped in the dry river bed (San Pedro River) just off the highway; a nice camp site with thickets of willows and cattonwoods lining the river bed. Cornfields bordering the riparian vegetation. Just a small amount of water in the river bed - about 2 feet wide. The river bed itself is about 40 feet wide. According to a Mexican, whom we talked, with the river was full and flooding only 10 days ago. Collected a small turtle in the stream - only one seen. Birds rather abundant but difficult to approach. Flushed 2 quails (sp.? ) near willows.
