Baker 1957 Journal 6. 25 Jan 1957 Eggers, Lone Beche Canyon, 1200 ft. San Diego Cliff. his home brew. Mr. Egger gave us the run of the place - anything goes. He had to leave to return to town, but said to stay as long as we want and come back anytime. a very hospitable gentleman. We settled down and finished a few left over shing. This canyon is a very narrow rocky canyon, sparsely vegetated with sage and Ocotillo ( ). Also some cactus around. There are quite a number of cabins in the area - evidently weekend cabins or vacation camps. The canyon runs about SW-NE. In the wash where there is (probably) occasionally some water there are some mosquitoes. Right away we saw some hummingbirds, (sp?), Philin, Sialis mexicana, and Phainopepla nitens. The weather today is very nice - warm when the sun shines but cool when it goes behind clouds. We will stay here several days. About 1 P.M. shot a Rendovia anduloni and an Sporomis tolnei out of a cottonwood tree. On main road about 1/2 mi. NW of Lone Beche Canyon, shot a Sage thrasher. Put it up later, while others set traps. Set traps. 26 Jan. 1957 Checked traps here this morning. John & I had, out of about 100 traps, 6 Peromyscus (2 sp) 1 Neotoma, 1 Cerecuthus. Walt had nothing in steel traps. Charlie had 6 Peromyscus. Then we checked desert traps, had 1 Diposlongs. Went to La Palma for morning.
