Two of Vermilion Flycatchers, and a set of Gambel's Quail with a mint egg. It was very windy all day and we saw many White-throated Swifts. I shot a jack-rabbit from the wagon and we skinned it for supper. Apr. 17. As there were many birds around we stayed in camp till eleven o'clock. We saw many Canyon and Green-tailed Towhees, Cardinals, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Least and Solitary Sandpipers, White-winged Doves, Wilson's Snipe, and Macgillivray's Warbler. Rising took a set of Gila Woodpeckers and the female and Will caught an Elf Owl alive. We travelled the rest of the day through a long pass over rough stony roads, and had to make a dry camp for the night. Saw a small bunch of Mule Deer. Apr. 18. It was a very cold night, and as we had barely enough fuel with which to cook our meals we were very uncomfortable, and glad to get up and leave in the morning. We traveled all day over very poor roads. Harvard took several sets of Vermilion Flycatchers; and one of Say's Phoebes out of an old well at a deserted ranch house. Rising took a set of Texas Woodpecker, and I found a nest of Red Hooded Oriole, with four eggs in a quara. Will shot a male Scott's Oriole and an Elf Owl. Saw a great many Black-throated Sparrows, one or two carrying building material, and Will found an unfinished nest in a brush about a foot from the ground. Also saw a flock of Yellow-headed Blackbirds around a ranch house; and I saw a few Scaled Quail, the first we have seen. Apr. 19. Drove through Benson, and camped in a grove of mesquite trees near the San Pedro River. We got in camp early and skinned some birds. Black-throated and Vesper Sparrows were very common. We tried to cook a mess
