(cont.)
one house wren, one hermit thrush and one Audubon warbler were secured in the willow association.
Birds seen on the walk were: 4 swallows,
flying north, 1 blue heron, 5 mallard ducks,
2 flickers, 1 junco, 2 cactus woodpeckers, 3
kinglets and numerous sparrows.
My traps along the slough were taken
up and two were re-set at two kit fox
dens, which had been pointed out to me by
an Indian, Mr. Snyder. He also gave
me some trapping scent.
I visited my traps in the wash association
and used some of the scent at the settings.
I saw a cottontail in a wash near camp,
but failed to secure a shot at it.
I cooked dinner, put up the skin of the
gila woodpecker and wrote notes.
Jan. Feb. 1, 1934.
After breakfast, Dr. Hall and I drove north
two miles to a point in the creosote association
where I had set two traps for kit foxes. Foxes
had evidently been in and out of the dens, but
no traps were sprung.
We next drove along the slough, found
muskrat sign, and set some traps under
water at the edge of the bank. Dr. Hall
