. Feathers. Colorado R., 1/2 mi. N Nevada-Calif. 33. Monument, Clark Co., Nevada. Jan. 28, 1934. (cont.) teal, two woodpeckers, one road-runner, one gay phoebe, two coots, one blue heron and one shrike. I put up the black phoebe skin and went for another short walk. I saw a gopher throw- ing dirt from its burrow. It exposed its entire body above the surface of the earth each time dirt was pushed forth. The fore part of the head was used to push some of the rocks. One rock was larger than a hen's egg. I retreated as far as possible and shot it with the .410. It was too badly damaged to prove valuable as a specimen, so I used it for trap bait. I returned to camp, cut wood, cooked dinner and washed the dishes. Jan. 29, 1934. Breakfast and dishes occupied the early morning hours. I then went around my trap line west of camp. Nothing was found in the traps. I took up the three traps at the foot of the mountains, in California, and re-set them in the catclaw assoc- ation, in Nevada. In that association, I saw one sparrow-hawk. Closer to camp, in catclaw, I shot a sage thrasher and two verdins. I visited my other traps along the edge of the slough. Nothing had been caught.
