Little Lake, Calif.
July 21, 1933
A pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks
were feeding in the oak above my head
when I awoke. I shot the ♂. After
breakfast I hunted about my trap
line. Shot a ♀ Cutiearia on the
rocky slope of the north side of the
lake. From among a group of Willows
on the west side of the lake I shot
the ♀ of a pair of Red-winged
Blackbirds. I hunted extensively
among the willows between Little Lake,
Creek and Little Lake but was only
able to get a ♂ Culicivora. Crossed
through the thicket and down to
the lagoon. Here I saw a number of
some variety feeding among the
large sticks and stones. A number
of these waders had been previously
seen especially at the Big Turn lake
on the sand bars and feeding
along the sandy banks of the river.
I collected a ♀ Black-headed Grosbeak
from a willow thicket near the
river on my way to camp between
the lake and river. I shot a squirrel
in camp that had been eating
the grain for my mules.
