J. D. Anderson 1958. Journal March 21 Valencia Lagoon, Rio del Mar, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. 9th - 9:45-10 - In woods - 1♀ Encatniae 10th 10:10-10:25 - Bonts 4 Hylas Rain light until 7:15, then stopped until 9:15. Rained heavily until 9:50, then stopped. Sky began to clear. Could see stars. Since nothing much doing I left at about 10:35. Interesting that the one Cambrystone was a gravid & facing the pond. No other morrises. I suspect that she is about the last struggle. Most other O'JY's & ? have bred & left the pond already. Spent approx. 30 min. prowling in woods with lantern. Saw only 1 gravid♀ Encatniae. Should try this again, it was a good strong head lamp. Heard ? Horned owls talking tonight for first time this spring.

Drove around to E. entrance but couldn't get far that way either. Run off has cut deep gullies with
