14 June
Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mtns., Pima-Santa Cruz Co. Arizona
Pima Co.
Selected a second trap site; ele. ~4600'@
Junction of Procter Ranch Road + Madera Cany.
Rd. Mesquite thicker (ie denser & more closely
spaced) than @ Florida Cuy. Few Junipers.
Set traps near stream border (see map.)
Gamble's Quail (Lopuortyx gambelii), Blk. Phoebe
(Sayornis nigraus), Silky Flycatcher (Phainopepla
aites), a Myiarchus flycatcher sighted.
Sighted a Holbrookia or Callisaurus on dist
rock.
Sage shot an adult Cuemidopluons (SJA 189)
& saw another @ the trap site. Anuran tadpoles
(SJA 188) were numerous in the pools along
the stream course.
Many (~50) coreid (?) hemipterans were found
congregating on a 35' tree along the stream
margin. About 15 prs. were copulating; holding
on to the under-side of branches. A few (~5)
coreids were seen on a nu. neighboring mesquite
but the majority were either crowing about,
resting or copulating on the larger tree.
In route back to camp (~8:30pm) a
pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis) wheeled
cross the road. Several mule deer were
sighted.
