Arnold, stekand. 1965 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.
