ResStore 1947 Journal II Aug.23. 4mi S, 5mi E, Shandon, 1175', San Luis Obispo Co, California plumage & hence nothing. Also saw Orange c. warbler, shrike, Belville War, Hutton Vires, shinned all afternoon. In evening set 49 traps in Scirpus americanus on near water awhile upstream near the large patch of Atriplex and 15 more in the large Atriplex. All about 20' apart as usual. Saw a group of about 10 ducks - mostly Pintail & a few smaller birds - flying up the valley (east) - saw 8 pintail the night before were flying up valley. Upon return heard Screwwall but couldn't locate him. Set 5 traps for Neotoma & retired. Aug24 the 15 traps in the Atriplex yielded 6 Dipos (4 ♂ 2 ♀ seemed) the 49 yielded 3 Reithrodontomys (1 ♂ & 1 ♀ besides the one saved). Tried to get a Redwing but didn't even get in range. Saw Killdees and also 2 small Sandpipers, the latter flying up the valley. Just above the trap line was a body of stagnant water about 150' long which should be good for amphibians in spring. I saw now nor any tadpoles. It might also be good for cats. Later went up Gillis Valley & looked at sets for Kit fox but none was sprung. Collected Horned Lark in the neatly field & proceeded up to step in small [illegible] canyon where Dahliller collected yesterday. Stayed till nearly eleven AM trying to collect Towhee & Sage Sparrow. saw a humming bird (? Anna's ?) and a Great- catcher & Dismets also near the sep. In evening set 101 museum special traps in alluvial fan & dry wash 1/4 mile E of camp. Dahliller set 100 traps on one side of the wash & I set on the other. (The usual 7 pairs apart).
