B. Richardson. 34 23 General Account were seen and Mr Dixon secured three more for specimens. Mr. Dixon also saw and verified my sight observation of the Golden Mouthed Ground Squirrel. During the early morning the Clark's Crows carried on their activities high up on the rocky slopes of the canyon and later coming down to the floor of the canyon to feed. Returned to camp for a late lunch. The afternoon was spent close to camp, skinning animals and cooking. In the late afternoon I went down into the meadow. Found a Red Shafted Flicker nest in a large dead Poplar tree, it contained young. Found a garter snake 16 ft long on the steep slope of the tall west canyon wall. It was rather inactive making no strenuous attempts to get out of reach.
