journal 54. July 29th 1985 July 29 At silver city, at which I arrived at about 7:15, I called home to Oakland. From there I went south on 90 and slept in a desert locality. During the midpart of the day, I drove east to a ghost town of Mogollon, N.M., and past the town into the road to the mountains beyond. The areas around Luna looked good for crossbills, as it was pine savanna with good ponderosa pine crops. South of Luna, much of the national forest was lower elevation pinyon/juniper habitat. Clouds hung over the entire plateau area, but it was clearer in the lowland desert through which I travelled late in the afternoon. At Mogollon, a hummingbird feeder had attracted several hummingbirds, with mainly small green types, but also an orange bird (another Red Verv Hummingbird?). A good area for Ravens all through this part of New Mexico. July 30 At 5:30 I began driving S on Hwy 90 in New Mexico to Lordsburg, then from tthere to the Chiricahuas via 80. By 9:30 am I had set up a net at Long Park, Elev. 9140 ft. No crossbills were encountered
