A. Feathers. Jan. 27, 1934. Colorado R., ½ mi. N. Nev.- Calif. Monument, Clark Co., Nev. (cont.) a great variety of birds. Some I recognized were : Netten carolinense, approx. 20; Pyro- cephalus rubinus mexicanus, three; Fulica amer- icana, approx 12; Wrens, four; Flickers, three; Turdus migratorius propinquus, one. After my return to camp, I cut wood, cooked dinner, washed the dishes and wrote notes. Jan. 28, 1934. The preparation of breakfast and dishes taken care of, I walked around my trap line, which extends west some three miles. The westernmost traps are about one mile across the Calif. state line. But one trap had been disturbed. The bait had been taken from one trap; probably by a coyote. On the walk, I saw four sage sparrows. My traps near the slough were next visited. None had been disturbed. I prepared a lunch and cut some stove wood. Later as I walked along the edge of the slough, I shot a black phoebe. It was difficult to find an opportunity to shoot it above the land, so that it would not fall in the water but I finally did so. Birds seen during the walk were: Two robins, four flickers, one kinglet, approx. 30 green-winged
