7mi. 5W El Vergel (Yaguita) 7800', Chihuahua July 4
Collected and prepared a warbler, robin and
ground squirrel in the morning. Rain in the afternoon
and early evening inhibited any further collecting
activity. Another Thamnophilus evans was purchased
from a Mexican.
Birds present at this campsite include robin,
western bluebird, Andes-on warbler, olive warbler,
red-faced warbler, flicker, acorn woodpecker, turkey
vulture, Cassin's kingbird, Steller's jay, red-backed
juncos, killdeer, chuckadee (sp?), screech owl (sp?, by
voice), horned owl (by voice).
Trap lines for small mammals have yielded only
Peromyscus. One gopher was taken in the flat by the
stream. Workings are present throughout the forest.
Specimens of gray squirrel, ground squirrel (C. lateralis
typa) and chipmunks have been taken.
