July9th Took 12 mammals - 9 in sand north of camp: 2 micro dipodops and 7 Dip. Merriami and 3 P. maniculatus. Shot a black throated sparrow and a barn swallow. In late afternoon visited East shore of Weber Lake - about 8 mi S. Shiny, the shore line has receded markedly apparently with recent times as all show lines are conspicuous - There are wide bands of gravel separating zones of pond - the sand zones seem well populated with P. ordii apparently in the lowest zone - Looks like it would be an excellent place to study succession. A number of birds were observed on the lake - gulls, cormorants and white pelican.
