K Dixon 1952 Journal Jan 28. En route Berkeley to Atascosa Co, Texac - We broke camp in grassland - Nolva plain in sub-freezing temperature (clear, dry) and started E again. Marsh Hawk seen foraging flight over grassland. Three Scaled Quail crossed road in sandy area where mesquite clumps were growing on sand-hillocks. White-vested Raven seen in open country (rile range, all fenced); at one place (clump of stunted mesquite) a group of about 8 seen, all but one on ground, latter calling. One picked up on road & mi W has Cincee. In Las Cincee, Dona Ana Co, N Mex one Great-tailed Etrache seen perched atop leafless tree giving a grating note. We drove south thru El Paso and continued on Hwy 80. lunch in Van Horn; from there south on U.S. 90. Horned Owl dead on road 9 mi NW Valentine and another 1 mi W of Valentine Co, Texas (there had been a third W of Van Horn - all had been viewed on - rain Sat night here). Our route led thru Alpine to Marathon. Continuing E, I watched distribution of junipers. Somewhat stunted growth perhaps 8 ft tall occurred E to 18 mi E Marathon, elev. 4300 ft and sparingly beyond. Mesquite in bottoms. This might serve as an avenue for D-mouse dispersed but does not appear habitable. 13 mi E Marathon, Brewster Co. we saw 28 Pronghorne in a loose flock on W-facing slope near hgwy - juniper growth here. Across the canyon, 5+ Mule Deer in denser growth.
