Las Cruces, N.M., & Chihuahuas City Mar. 14, 1979 Left at 7:30 am in University car with Sandy Schmitt, his son Steve, and Phil Zwarts (Wildlife Extension Specialist). In El Paso we picked up Paul Valdez and Jose Trevino who has been surveying antelope population in Chihuahua. Had lunch along the road. Then stopped just south of El Suezo where there is a herd of about 26 antelopes. This grassy playa (on E side of highway) is about 25 miles NE of Sierra del Nido. He spent over an hour walking across the playa studying area with field glasses, but we failed to see the herdrendos. Found tracks and fresh droppings no more than half mile from the highway. Flushed a covey of 15+ scaled quail in the tall grass. They flew 20 yds. and stuck in the grass, where we got them out once again. Found lots of roost spots - Fails together in little open tree spots, like Bobwhites. Big flock of jupites and scattered Savannah sparrows. Asked Jose Trevino about grizzlies. He reports that some guy says he saw two (together) a little S of Cerro Compana, adjoining Sierra del Nido on the south. They were allegedly "cinnamon brown", hence were reported as grizzlies. Might just as well be black bears. Stayed at Victoria Hotel in central Chihuahua. Took Jose and his charming wife to dinner.
