Journal
Dec. 16 warmed up. I tried to find a ceiling Granivatore,
to record before the wind came up. Could find none
in the Tanuchita area. When Root finished his
observations we both tried to collect out the population
of Greetiather for stomach analyses. Until 1130 we
managed to collect only 4 plus one Verdin. Do not
seem to be as many as were here last winter.
While Root + I collected birds Arathor put up
mammals which he trapped in screwben, lavafield
+ rock habitat during night.- 5 Peromyscus,
1 Perognathus, + 1 rat.
Packed car + left for Tucson on L80. Had lunch
in Tucson. Arrived in Tucson at 1745. Drove
to 1025 Zaidi when stay for several days. Found
Jim Ambrose, John Tracimantano + several others at
home. Said hello then out for supper. Back at
8900 to clean up + write notes.
Dec. 17 Tucson, Pima Co., Arizona.
Up at 0800. Night was cold here, but not down to
freezing. After breakfast went out to Wilmot Rd.
Locality (0.6mi N Benson Hwy.) to see what birds
were there. The only species present in any numbers
was the Rufous-winged Sparrow. No Brewers
Sparrows present at all + wh-crowns only in F2,
small flock.
