32. June 21 1953 Sunday We left Seafield Canyon today about noon and drove south through White River Valley to Adaven, past Cherry Creek and over into Railroad Valley and north to Warm Springs. From Warm Springs we drove west to Tonopah and spent the night at Millers, about 10 mi. W. of Tonopah. We searched many abandoned buildings but couldn't locate any bats. The entire day was spent in travel. June 22, 1953, Monday This morning I found a Raven nest - with two almost fully-grown young in an abandoned building at Millers. The adult birds circled about noisily. Also saw a loggerhead Shrike and a Desert Sparrow here. All of today was also spent in travel. We moved north to Saddleville and trapped a few Crayfishes in a warm-water pond there. We travelled to Mina, visited Camps Douglas about 10 miles west of Mina then drove north on an old dirt road to the Lucky Boy Pass road near Hawthorne. We drove over Lucky Boy Pass and down to Fletchers, Mineral
