Arnold, Steven) 1965 14 June Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mtns., Pima-Santa Cruz Cos. Arizona Nat'l Forest men said Trogons (T. elegans) were nesting up canyon from our camp & asked if we'd heard them (Sage thought he had the site before). Also reported a bat cave (ie. old mine couple hundred feet deep) @ end of Bog Springs road (ie. dirt road) where some prof. from Calit had taken 'couple hundred common bats & 7 rare ones'. Finished skiers ~3:00pm & hiked back up canyon & noosed 2 more (&+?) S. jamovi), between rocks. Sightied several Mexican Jays & (Aphelocoma ultramarina). Whole upper part of the canyon is very reminiscent of Santa Anita Cny. (+San Gabriel cny.), San Gabriel Mtns in Calif. Yuccas - Oaks, Sceloporus (occidentalis) Jays (Calif), Phrynosoma (cervinata), Campopeltis (pyromelana vs. zonata) make the 2 seem all the more similar. While I was lashed out for an hour, Sage said he'd seen a ? Rivoli's Hummingbird (Eugenes fulgens). Paused momentarily above camp table (w/ watermelon) & then flew on. Left camp ~4:30 to put in another group of traps. Sightied several turkey vultures soaring @ in tree (1) in route down-cany,
