(cont.) darkness, and I had no light, I put off hunting for it until the following morning. I saw a very large bat, but was unable to get a shot at it. I reached camp after dark, skinned out a muskrat and wrote notes. Feb. 6, 1934. In the morning I put up two muskrat skins. From camp, I saw a flicker, which I shot at and wounded, but did not secure. It was in a willow-tree at the edge of the slough. I took six more muskrat traps and went north along the slough to where my muskrat traps were set. In one trap, I found a drowned muskrat. I changed the location of two traps to the opposite side of the slough from where they had been, and hunted there for favorable locations for my additional traps. Not finding good "sign", I did not set more traps. I searched for the owl I had shot the previous night, but without success. Birds seen along the slough were: One Lyphortyx gambeli; One Ardea herodias; One Sayornis saya, One Sayornis nigricans; Six Oxychus vociferus; one Pyrocephalus rubinus mexicanus.
