23. June 18, 1953, Thursday I caught two Poorwills and a Robin in the hair net. Today I hiked up both the south-facing slope at the mine which is covered with Pinyon, and the north-facing slope which is covered with Cerocarpus. Many species of birds were seen. A pair of Red-tailed Hawks acted as if they had a nest on the pinyon-covered ridge. Saw the following species: 1. Turkey Vulture 1 Prairie Falcon 1 2. Red-tailed Hawk 2 3.
