1944 Journal #18. August 13, Gini & Coalinga, Fresno Co. to Berkeley, Alameda Co. Got up early & collected traps--caught one Dipodomys californicus in the trap spring. Caught seemed very small considering the number of Dipos signs &c. went out hunting for Bell sparrow but saw none. Saw the following animals near by: Anna & Selasphorus humilis (in tobacco along draw), Linnet, Shrike, Sparrow hawkle, Kingbird, Mourningdove, Pintail (20 or so flew over the previous night), young lizards (probably Uta), Ammospermophilus, cotton tail, Citellus beecheyi, Jack rabbit, & Dr Miller added Secrete Thrasher & Coyote. Drove back into town for ice to keep specimens & then to Mendota collecting Horned larks on the way. Ate lunch in Mendota & from there turned up to the Panoche valley through much land devoted to raising melons. The lower part of Panoche creek has fair growth of Scirpus & Typha & looked very good for Song Sparrows, yellow throats & even marsh wrens. There were also Atiples flats for Bell Sparrows followed up the valley (where we saw Magpies & Lewis Woodpele & many horned larks) & came into Pairies & thence to Berkeley where we arrived about 7:15 PM.
