Weston 1946 Journal 3. July 1 July 1 Quail Spring Joshua Tree Natl Mon, San Bernardino Co., Califi, a compartment has been boarded over. This section is drained into the larger one by a 3/4" pipe. Some overflow on the ground in front has made a slight mud hole. Cows graze through this area and water here. Vegetation around the spring is sparse. Catclaw (Acacia Greggi) is the most prominent plant. Several hundred felt up the slope behind the spring we find a mixture of juniper and single-needled piñon pine beginning to appear. At the spring both mountain and Gambel quail were seen. Mourning doves and one western flycatcher came in to feet drink while we were there. At 9 a.m. on our way back to camp, Dr. S. shot a Crepidophorus. Back at camp we packed up and drove on up the road to within 300 yards ± of the spring and set up a more or less permanent camp across the road just to the north of 40± beehives. The heat was quite uncomfortable and during mid day we sat under a tarp we put up to get out of the sun. During this interval we wrote field notes. Late in the afternoon Wade and I each set out 50 Museum Special
