K Dixon 1949 Journal April 26. En route, Sawmill, Gila Co., to Globe Gila Co., Arizona. I noted hewis Woodpecker, Cowbird, Cassin Kingbird and lark Sparrows in willows or adjacent grassland. We drove along a plateau to Hwy 60 + turned S toward Globe. As we dropped lower, Pinons appeared and soon a chaparral of manzanita, scrub oak and ceanothus (+ other unidentified spp) along with pinon and juniper. Still lower down, the more open spacing & height of this association reminded me of desert foothills of Southern California. Arrived in Globe about 10:30. En route Globe Gila Co., Ariz. to Whitewater, left Globe about 12:30 via Hwy 60. We stopped at Salt River Canyon where I collected several plant specimens. After rising out of the canyon we came into pinon juniper country in nearly pure culture. We turned off the Hwy at Canizo + took a dirt road into Whitewater. New on Fort Apache Indian Reservation, we saw evidence of clearing of majority of juniper trees in several fields some at least at edges of natural meadows. There were also considerable erosion evident. In other meadows young junipers appeared to be establishing themselves; here eradication would be economical + feasible for easiest recovery of grazing land. The commonest roadside bird in the juniper area was the Cassin Kingbird. In more open grassland areas we saw Horned Larks, Lark Sparrows, Sparrow Hawks. We reached Whitewater about 3:30 PM and went to the Indian Agency Heights, where we talked to Mr. Moffat,
