Feathers. 1934. 500 ft., Colorado-R., 1/2 mi. N Nev.- Calif. monument, Clark Co., Nev. Feb. 13, 1934. I went out in the "first bottom" and gathered up all the steel traps. Two snipe were seen in tule association. One Sayornis sayus and one Hylocichla guttata were seen in the willow-association. I took the car to Needles, had it serviced and purchased groceries. On my return trip I stopped to see Mr. Bugh, relative to the purchase of a beaver. He had not caught one, but thought he might by the next day. Fitch and I drove 15 mi. north to Hiho Spring, to attend to gopher traps set there by Orr and Hatfield. Three gophers had been caught. Seven settings were taken up and re-set in different locations. A pipitrelle was seen flying at 4:15 P.M. I shot it. We returned to camp after dark. Feb. 14, 1934. Fitch and I started at daylight to visit the gopher traps. Along the route, Fitch shot an Ammospermophilus. Only one gopher was taken. Several traps were re-set at new places. After we had returned to camp, I put up the gopher skin. We all packed equipment, and prepared to leave camp. The truck was then loaded. We proceeded on the road to Searchlight,
