June 2. Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif.
(cont.) up the trail to the falls on the west fork of
Sheep Creek, they brought a junco (58) which Fisher
had shot with a slingshot.
Went up to see Roaring River falls with Mrs.
Guinnell and the boys. Found a mariposa
lily among the lupin and larkspurs beside
the trail. Later, returned to the manzanita
and sagebrush area just west of the parking
place one mile west of Roaring River, and
set traps there. Looked at the robin's nest
and the water ouzel's nest under the bridge
on our way back.
June 3. Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif.
Weather this morning cool and clear. Got up
at 6:00 A.M. and went after our traps. Heard
what may have been a Saw-whet Owl in
Cedar Grove. Saw jays, Robins, gray squirrels.
Caught a Peromyscus boylii (60) in a trap
set under the edge of an extensive clump of man-
zanita. Bob Storer gave me one of his Peromyscus
maniculatus (59) to stuff. Did the junco (58)
this morning, also, while the tents were being
taken down and our stuff packed. Even my chair
was whisked away before I had finished.
