Little Lake, Calif.
August. 4, 1933.
Spent the early morning hunting
in the scrub oaks on the north
shoot between the two lakes.
The absence of birds was notable,
they seemed to all be fading in
the willows and small poplars
about the lake shore. All that
was noticed was a pair of
Black-headed Grosbeaks feeding
in the tops of some of the pines.
After breakfast I went for
a hunt over the south shoot and
on to the canyon wall. On the
north side of the shoot I saw
a pair of Clark's crows feeding
on the juniper. They were
carrying the burs from the
bush and flying into a
neighboring pine to dig out the
seeds. At the top of the
shoot I shot a 346
from another juniper bush.
It proved to be an immature
individual. Returned by way
of the river below the shoot.
Hunted for bats in the evening.
Shot one Mexican Nuttail. It was flying
high about the pine tree.
