Weston 1946 Journal 12. July 4 Quail Spring, Joshua Tree Natl. Monument, San Bernardino Co. near back at our base camp at Quail Spring at 10:30 a.m. There until noon we fixed the reptiles we had caught earlier in the day. After lunch Dr. S. gave Wade a real honest- to-goodness haircut. Did a good job, too. Coming in on the Quail Spring road we saw three white-rumped shrikes and one dilldeer. After the haircut of Wades I sat down and wrote some field notes. This morning Dr. S. said he saw a or Bullock oriole up by the spring on July 2. Wade says he saw a cowbird up there yesterday. Between 3:45 and 5 p.m. I took a census of the birds around Quail Spring: Linnet - 2 10 ♂♀ Titmouse - 2 Black phoebe - 1 Desert sparrow - 7 Mt. Quail - 8 4♂♂ 4♀♀ Mourning Dove - 4 Cactus woodpecker - 2 10 ♂♀ Western mockingbird - 1 Scott oriole - 1 ♀ Near the spring I saw 2 cottontail rabbits. Back at camp I skinned a Atelles that Dr. S. had shot near camp. After dinner I set out 55 museum special snap traps
