July 21 (Candy) Nev: 10 mouse traps were set in much
the same habitat as the last group. From
these traps was taken 1 Dipodomys ordii
+ 2 Peromyscus maniculatus
Many of the specimens taken were had
the nose + toes covered with large red
ants which fed on these parts.
This morning on our way to the
trap lines a large Antelope was seen
alongside the road. As we approached
it started off across the flat bushy
land & then paused on a low hill about
200 yds distant to look at us & then
continued on over the hill.
about 10 mi. S Vya a large flock of
Magpies were flushed from among the
Artemesia bushes along the road. On
our return trip they were again in
this place.
10 1/2 mi. S Vya a Red tailed hawk was
seen carrying something in its claws. A
shot caused it to drop -- the remain
df a young jack rabbit.
July 22. Morning of July, 21 spent in camp. The weather
was hot in the morning but it clouded
up & it could be seen raining to the
east of camp. About 3:30 P.M. E.R. Hall,
