A pair of Water Ouizels were found about a mile down the canyon. Later one was heard singing and I watched it feed- ing on the insects just below the water line on the border of the stream. Great Blue Herons (2) were also seen fishing in the larger ponds below. Song Sparrows (phallax) and Juncos (subsp.) were feeding on the willow border.

Caught 2 Neotoma (sp.), 1 Perognathus p. olivaceos, and 4 Reithrodontomys megalotis (sp?) Several Peromyscus were not put up.

We dropped down into the canyon and looked
