15 June 81 25 miles north of Tucson 6216 529 Harpshynchus [illegible] 3/16x2.7 F I yellow, Bill black, Legs dull fluish or greenish, May prove to be H. bendirii but I can see no indications of spots. Magguit, Has raised a brood. 6217 530 Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus 8.2x11. 8 yrs 6218 531 Ditto 8x10.5 4 yrs I reddish brown, Bill black, fluit below, Legs fluish brown. This seems birds. Drove to Canon del Oro, only to find that we had been sent on a wild goose chase for the only "road" in the canon is a rough pack trail; and the water here is very poor and scarce, and no horse feed. Neither are birds plenty, as we shall turn back.
