Robert and I followed a trap line set by resdart biologist John Davis. These were homemade dive traps made of wire mesh. We saw a dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) in one trap and a California thrasher in another (Toxostoma redivivum). There were also many acorn woodpecker in the area (Melanargus erythrocephalus).
