Mayhew 1947 Mar. 1 Journal 1. Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. The day was completely overcast, with occasional fits of rain. The birds were rather active early in the morning, but seemed to move about less toward noon. The route taken was from the north end of the stadium up Big C hill toward the cyclotron, then south along a paved road past the experimental dairy barns, and back to the starting place. Oregon Junco seemed to predominate in the numbers seen. Most of the birds encountered sang at least occasionally. One nest was found, that of an Anna's Hummingbird. The birds seen on this morning's trip were: Oregon Junco, Black Phoebe, Say's Phoebe, Brown Towhee, Spotted Towhee, Robin, Sharp-shinned Hawk, California Jay, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Allen's Hummingbird, Anna's Hummingbird, Song Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, Red-tailed Hawk, California Purple Finch, Golden-crowned Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Bush-tit, & Sparrow Hawk for a total of 19 species. The songs of the Wren-tit, Pine Siskin, House Finch & Red-shafted Flicker were also identified by the group. This afternoon another trip was made up Strawberry Canyon, this time along the southern side. The weather was still overcast with occasional showers. Birds didn't seem to be as numerous as in the morning, although several species were observed. By 4 P.M. the

Mayhew 1947 Mar 1 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. was almost no sign of bird activity. During the afternoon the following birds were observed: 1 Red-shafted Flicker, 2 Hermit Thrush, 5 Fox Sparrows, 2 Robins, 2 Juncos, 5 Wren-tits, 4 Allen's Hummingbirds, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Brown Towhee, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, 1 Red- tailed Hawk, 3 Anna's Hummingbirds, 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk, about 20 Bush-tits, and about 30 Pine Siskins. for a total of 15 species in the afternoon, 24 different species for the day; Mar. 8 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. Today was overcast with occasional rain. Our route was from the north end of the stadium east along the northern side of the canyon, then back along the southern side of the canyon & the stadium. The birds seen today were: Bush-tit, Junco, Song Sparrow, Orange-crowned Warbler, Calif. Jay, Red-tailed Hawk, Hutton Vireo, Black Phoebe, Sparrow Hawk, Pine Siskin, Anna's Hummingbird, Allen's Hummingbird, Hermit Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Purple Finch, Brown Towhee, Spotted Towhee. The songs of the Wren-tit, Bewick Wren, Stella's Jay, Hairy Woodpecker were also heard. The type of habitat encountered today was chaparral, coniferous forest, and pond. Mar. 9 Crows Landing Highway, 9 miles south of Modesto, Stanislaus Co., Calif. My observations were made from the living room windows this morning. The day was overcast with a rather strong south-east wind blowing. Birds didn't

Mayhew 1947 Journal 3. Mar.9 Crows Landing Highway, 9 miles south of Modesto, Stanislaus Co., Calif. seem to be very active at this time, although those that were seen were rather low. The species seen during this period of observation were: Sparrow Hawk, Crow, Brewer's Blackbird, Red-winged Blackbird, English Sparrow, House Finch, Mockingbird, Audubon's Warbler, and Red-shafted Flicker. Mar.15 Lake Merritt, Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. The day was warm and sunny with no breeze to speak of. Except for the grebes, Coot, Mallards, Baldpates + Terns that were feeding, the remainder of the birds just seemed to swim around or simply rest on the water or the shore. The Mallards fed near the edge of the lake, the Coots did also, the grebes fed at a little distance from the shore, the Baldpates fed on the lawn a short distance from the shore, and the Terns fed from the air, occasionally diving close to the surface of the water. The birds seen at Lake Merritt today were: Coot, Mallard, Mute Swan, Baldpate, Wood-duck, Lesser Scaup, Pintail, Puddy Duck, Canvas-back, Pied-billed Grebe, Western Grebe, Eared Grebe, Forster's Tern, Ring-billed Gull, Brewer's Blackbird, Canada Goose, Lesser Canada Goose, Cackling Goose, White-fronted Goose, Lesser Snow Goose, American Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Double-crested Cormorant, American Golden-eye, California Gull, House Finch, English Sparrow, Western Robin, and Red-shafted Flicker, for a total

2mmol The [illegible] I do not wish to write any of my recent thoughts on being with girls now alone. I find it hard to explain how I feel about them, and I don't know what to say. I just want to be left alone. I think that if I were to try to explain it, I would only make things worse for myself. So I will leave it at that. I have been thinking a lot about this lately, and I am not sure how to feel about it. I know that I should be happy that I have found someone who makes me feel good, but something is missing. It's like there's a hole in my heart that can't be filled no matter what happens. And I don't know why this is happening to me right now. I guess it's just part of growing up and learning more about myself and the world around me.

Mayhew 1947 March 15 Lake Merritt, Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. of 29 species in all. On the trip home from Oakland to Modesto, Stanislaus County, California, the following species were seen: Cliff Swallow, Florida Gallinule, Red-winged Blackbird, Western Meadowlark, Great Blue Heron, California Shrike, and Western Mockingbird, bringing the total for the day to 36 species. March 29 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. Campus, Alameda Co., Calif. At 8:15 A.M. we passed through grass- land habitat, and then through a chaparral habitat, where Perognathus is usually found associated with Calif. Sage (Artemesia). Then we passed into a border woodland habitat, where white-footed mice + wood rats may be found, as well as skunks + weasels. On a return to the grassland habitat, a series of mounds, denoting the workings of a pocket gopher were found. A white - footed mouse nest (?) was found about 6' above the ground at the tip of a branch of a pine tree. One acorn was found in the nest, and since the nearest live oak was about 75 yards away, it had been carried quite a distance. The nest was composed of pine needles, various grasses + some horse-hair. Our route was from the north end of the stadium up the hill above the stadium & the road leading to the cyclotron, then south along the road to Strawberry pool, + back to the stadium on the south side of the canyon.

1945 March 12 Lake Merritt, Oakland, Alameda Co. Calif. of 30 species in all. On this trip there were only two: the California quail and the Gambel's quail. The following species will be added to our list: California Quail (Callipepla californica) - A common bird of oak woodlands, chaparral, arid canyons, desert scrub, gardens, etc. It is also frequently seen in towns and cities. This bird was first collected by Merriam on March 12, 1945 at Lake Merritt, Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. Gambel's Quail (Lophortyx gambelii) - A common bird of the same habitat as above but found in more arid regions. It is also frequently seen in towns and cities. This bird was first collected by Merriam on March 12, 1945 at Lake Merritt, Oakland, Alameda Co., Calif. I am very glad to have added these two birds to our list. [illegible]

Mayhew 1947 Journal 5. March 29 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. The weather was rather disagreeable, as it sprinkled most of the morning. In all, we went through grassland, dry chaparral, wet chaparral, woodland with no understory, woodland with dense understory, and an introduced conifer habitat. April 12 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. Due to the high wind blowing down through the canyon, looking for birds didn't meet with too much success. The wind distorted many of the songs, so that it was difficult to accurately identify the species encountered by their songs. The majority of the birds that were encountered were found in the bottom of the canyon where the wind wasn't so strong. One view & one nest of an unidentified species were seen during the morning. Our route was along the southern side of the canyon (Strawberry), around the eastern end and back on the northern side of the canyon. The species seen were: Purple Finch, Bushtit, Junco, Turkey Vulture, Brown-backed Goldfinch, Red-tailed Hawk, Orange-crowned Warbler, Song Sparrow, Brown Towhee, & Sharp-shinned Hawk. The additional species heard were: Bewick's Wren, Wren-tit, & Pileated Warbler. April 19 Wildcat canyon, Contra Costa Co., Calif. Our route today was down the hill from the reservoir & Jewel Lake in the canyon, then back to the reservoir. The weather was clear & warm. Birds were in abundance all

The reason why no one was able to get the old government left to form buildings. Destroying jobs, buildings against taxes and other buildings damaged the economy. This happened, governments and businesses are low, governments are bankrupted. The old government, the U.S. economy produced 2 of the largest and most powerful oil fields in the world. But this time it's not going to happen again. The old government failed to take care of its own governments & taxpayers who had lost everything. Governments are failing because they are failing to take care of their own citizens. They are also failing to take care of their own economies. The old government was not able to keep up with the new technology and the new economy. The old government was not able to keep up with the new technology and the new economy.

Mayhew 1947. Journal 6. April 19 Wildcat Canyon, Contra Costa Co., Calif. morning. We spent the time learning more bird songs. The species seen were: Olive-sided Flycatcher, Song Sparrow, Orange-crowned Warbler, Spotted Towhee, Pine Siskin, Allen's Hummingbird, Purple Finch, California Jay, Oregon Junco, Bush-tit, Pileated Warbler, Sharp-skinned Hawk, Black-headed Grosbeak, Titmouse, Western Flycatcher, Stella's Jay, Red-winged Blackbird, Ring-necked Duck, Black Phoebe, Coot, and American Goldfinch. In addition to these, the songs of the Quail, Wren-tit, & Warbling Vireo were also heard. April 26 Bay Farm Island, Alameda Co., Calif. The trip today began at 5:15 AM. at the bridge to the island. After about an hour of individual observation, the class organized and began studying the species near the bridge. Then we continued east along the shore of the bay and around an arm of the bay. The tide had just started to drop when we arrived, and by 9:30 A.M. was about a quarter of a mile from the high tide line. During the trip, we observed in several habitats: sandy beach, mud flat, marsh land (Salicornia) and grassland. For the major part of the morning, nearly all the shorebirds were feeding. During the trip, the following species were seen: Meadowlark, Great Blue Heron, Semi-palmated Plover, Dowitcher, Red-backed Sandpiper, Killdeer, English Sparrow, Marbled Godwit, Mallard,

April 19 Wildcat Condon, Castro & Co., Cal. April 30 Roxford Island, Alameda Co. Calif. The trip took about an hour and a half in all, but we spent the time learning more from each other than from the scenery. The spring was clear and blue; there were no clouds to be seen. We saw some birds flying over us, but they didn't stay long enough for us to identify them. There were also several fish jumping out of the water near shore, which made it look like a school of dolphins! It was really cool seeing all that activity up close. May 1st We started our day early this morning because we wanted to catch the sunrise at [illegible]. After getting ready and packing everything into the car, we headed towards the destination. As soon as we arrived, I could see why people come here so often - it's just beautiful! The sky was painted with shades of orange, pink, purple, and red – absolutely stunning! And then when you look around, you realize how vast the ocean is compared to where we are standing now. This makes me think about how small we really are in comparison to nature itself.

Mayhew 1947 April 26 Bay Farm Island, Alameda Co., Calif. Western Sandpiper, Western Willet, Brown Pelican, Western Gull, California Gull, Avocet, Bonaparte's Gull, Hudsonian Curlew, Brewer's Blackbird, Robin, Sanderling, Knot, Barn Swallow, Forster's Tern, Caspian Tern, Ring-billed Gull, Black-bellied Plover, Black Turnstone, Ruddy Turnstone, Pintail, Cliff Swallow, California Clapper Rail, Scaup, Ruddy Duck, Greater Yellow- legs, Snowy Plover, House Finch, and Sparrow Hawk. The most abundant species was the Western Sandpiper, the Avocets being next most abundant. Avocets, Marbled Godwits, Hudsonian Curlews, and Semi-palmed Plover were all fairly common. The rest of the species ranged down to individual observations of single specimens. May 3 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. As I had to leave the field trip early to take an examination, I didn't accomplish very much in the way of bird study. Our trip was from the north end of the stadium to Strawberry Pool. The morning was quiet and bright. The only real excitement of the morning was watching a cat make an unsuccessful attempt to catch any one of six quail that were the members of a flock. The nests of a Black-headed Grosbeak and a Brown Towhee were found, but were inaccessible to all members of the class, due to their

However, we were able to get close to a bush-tits' nest that was also found. The following species were seen today: Valley Quail, Black Phoebe, Lazuli Bunting, Bush-tit, Brown Towhee, Song Sparrow, Anna's Hummingbird, Orange-crowned Warbler, Black-headed Grosbeak, Warbling Vireo, and Purple Finch. In addition, the songs of the following were also heard: Hutton Vireo, Swainson Thrush, Spotted Towhee, Pileated Warbler, Red-breasted Nuthatch, & Wren-tit. May 3 Trip from Berkeley, Alameda Co. to Modesto, Stanislaus Co., Calif. This afternoon I travelled from Berkeley to my home near Modesto by auto. This route passes through several habitats: grassland, woodland, cultivated land, fresh-water marsh, river, and open grazing land. On this trip, the following species were observed: Meadowlark, Brewer's Blackbird, Sparrow Hawk, Western Kingbird, & California Shrike in the plains and grassland areas; American Bittern, Black Tern, Black-necked Stilt & Red-winged Blackbird near fresh-water marsh, Cliff Swallows near the river; Bullock's Oriole in the tree-covered area; English Sparrows, House Finches, & Robins were seen in the cultivated areas.

Mayhew 1947 Journal L May 10 Wildcat canyon, Contra Costa Co., Calif. The field trip today began at the tennis court at Indian camp in Wildcat canyon. Our group then proceeded to a little stream just south of ~~wildcat~~ Tilden Park golf course club house, where we looked for amphibians. Most of the morning was spent turning over rocks + branches near the stream or exploring in the pools formed by the stream. The day was warm and sunny. The amphibians found were: Triturus granulosus, Hyla regilla, Batrachoseps attenuatus, Ensatina escholtzii, Aneides lugubris, + Rana aurora. The reptiles found on the grassy hillside that we explored were: Pituophis catenifer (gopher snake) + Sceloporus occidentalis (fence lizard). May 16 U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. All morning, + all the afternoon that I didn't have class, I sat under a conifer just south of Hilgard Hall & watched a robin's nest. May 21 I spent all the afternoon, from 3:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. observing the actions of a pair of parent Robins feed their young. The weather was warm + clear until about 5:45 P.M. when a high fog blanketed the area, causing quite a drop in temperature. It became even cooler as soon as the sun went down behind the Golden gate at little later.

May 10 Wildcat contact, Contra Costa Calif. The field trip today began at the training center in Walnut Creek to hear from staff members of the group that prepared for and participated in it. The time they were given was limited so their plan had to cover many topics clearly and concisely. Most of the available information is listed below with a brief synopsis of what went on. The main job of meeting at 10:30 am was to provide an overview of the Bay Area's environmental situation, including air quality, water quality, noise levels, and other issues facing residents in the region. Participants were divided into groups based on their interests and expertise. Each group worked independently for about two hours before coming back together to share findings and discuss potential solutions. One group focused on improving public transportation options within the city limits. They suggested expanding bus routes and increasing frequency during peak hours. Another group explored ways to reduce air pollution by promoting electric vehicles and encouraging carpooling among commuters. A third group examined methods for managing waste more effectively, such as recycling programs and composting initiatives. Their proposal included setting up community gardens where residents could grow produce using organic materials collected from local households. Finally, one team addressed the issue of green spaces in urban areas. They recommended creating parks along major streets and converting unused lots into recreational facilities. Overall, all groups agreed that collaboration between different sectors—government agencies, private businesses, and individual citizens—is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals.

Mayhew 1947 Journal 10. May 23 U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif. I spent from 5:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M. watching a Robin's nest just south of LSB. The weather was cool & the sky was completely overcast when I began my observations. At 7:10 A.M. the sun broke through the overcast, & from then on the weather warmed up considerably. Other species that came into view while I was observing were: Swainson's Thrush, Brown Towhee, Spotted Towhee, Purple Finch, Cliff Swallow, Bush-tit, Lawrence Goldfinch, Brewer's Blackbird, & Song Sparrow. May 28 I spent from 2:45 P.M. to 5:15 P.M. making observations on the nest in the Cedrus deodara tree south of Hilgard Hall. The weather was clear & warm, with almost no trace of a wind. The only other birds seen while watching the nest were: Brown Towhee, Bush-tit, Song Sparrow & Brewer's Blackbird. May 30 Crows Landing Highway, 9 miles south of Modesto, Stanislaus Co., Calif. I started a trip from this point at 9 A.M. and travelled to Leland Creek, Tuolumne county, Calif. On this trip I went from Lower Sonoran to Transition zones, Leland Creek being about 6000 feet high on the west slope of the Sierras. On this trip I saw in the Lower Sonoran zone: in open country, Western Mourning Dove, Cliff Swallow, Barn Swallow, Meadowlark, Black-necked Stilt, Bullock's Oriole, English Sparrow, House Finch, Western Kingbird, Brewer's Blackbird,

May 30 The AP to turn out may give a tribute to future members, their health & happiness. It will be a great day for all of us. We need more volunteers to help out with the setup and cleanup. If you can spare some time, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. Also, please bring your own lunch as there will be no food provided on site. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Thank you for your continued support! Best regards, [Name] Volunteer Coordinator

Journal 11. Mayhew 1947 May 30 Crows Landing Highway, 9 miles south of Modesto, Stanislaus Co., Calif. Red-winged Blackbird, Western Robin, Turkey Vulture, and Western Bluebird. In the Upper Sonoran zone, the Western Lark Sparrow was seen in open grassy country, and the California Woodpecker was seen in the oak forests. In the Transition zone, in the conifer forest, the Western Chipping Sparrow, Stellar's Jay, and Sierra Junco were seen. The weather was cloudy all morning, with occasional showers in the Transition zone. June 1 Leland Meadow, Tuolumne Co., Calif. At 11:30 AM. I took a hike from the cabin on Leland Creek up the hills to Leland meadow. In the conifers on the way to the meadow I saw Stellar's Jay, Sierra Junco, and Western Chipping Sparrow. In the meadow itself, I saw Brewer's Blackbird, Western Robin, and Olive-sided Flycatcher. One Robin's nest was found about 10 feet above the ground on the east side of a conifer, but there were no eggs in it yet. It looked as though it had just been completed. June 7 Strawberry + Woolsey Canyons, Alameda Co., Calif. Our route today was from the north end of stadium through a corner of Strawberry canyon behind Bowles Hall, north to Woolsey canyon, then back east of the cyclotron to the north side of Strawberry canyon, then down the canyon to the stadium again.

Mayhew 1947 Journal 12. June 7 Strawberry + Woolsey Canyons, Alameda Co., Calif. The sky was overcast all morning, but it didn't rain except for an occasional drizzle. A slight south-east wind was blowing most of the morning. Our route led us through eucalyptus groves, in which we saw Great Horned Owls, Stellas Jay, Oregon Junco, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and Brown Towhee. Western Flycatcher, California Jay, Purple Finch, House Finch, Mourning Dove, Bush-tit, Spotted Towhee, Lazuli Bunting, Song Sparrow, Arkansas Goldfinch, and American Goldfinch were seen in a live oak surrounding. Red Shafted Flicker + House Wren were seen in the open — the House Wrens were seen in a wire fence. California Snail were seen on hillsides that were relatively open. This made a total of 19 species seen during the morning. Also heard during the morning were: Pine Siskin, Plain Titmouse, Warbling Vireo, Orange- crowned Warbler, Bewick Wren, Swainson Thrush, and Western Robin, for a total of 7 other species encountered during the morning. On the whole, the birds were all singing rather commonly. The cloudy weather didn't seem to quiet them at all. In addition to birds, 2 Black-tailed Jackrabbits were seen east of the cyclotron. 1948 March 13 8 miles west of Gridley, Butte Co., Calif.

Journal 13 Mayhew 1948 March 13 8 miles west of Gridley, Butte Co., Calif. Today noon saw our Zoology 145 class leave the Berkeley campus for Gray Lodge Refuge in Butte Co. After a short walk around the duck ponds about sun-down, John Cowan, Assistant Game Manager in charge of the refuge talked to us, giving us the following information: The refuge consists of 26,000 acres, 16,000 acres of which are under water. There is a 50-50 ratio of open water + tule. They have planted water grass, rice, + wheat to help feed the waterfowl. Mallards + Cinnamon Teal are the principal nesting on the refuge. It is estimated that 2,000,000 ducks occur on the refuge at one time occasionally. Banding waterfowl is going to be one of their larger projects this spring. Then Howard Twining, Assistant Game Biologist in charge of the Pheasant project for California Fish + Game told us the following about pheasants: The pheasant population hit its peak about 1943. By 1945 the population was on the down- grade. A man was assigned to find out whether poisoning blackbirds had done anything to the pheasant population. It was found that pheasants couldn't be killed with the poison bait that was being used for blackbirds under normal

March 13 2491 I have been working on the problem of how to make a good, strong, and durable material for use in the construction of buildings. The material must be able to withstand heavy loads without breaking or deforming under pressure. The first step is to choose the right type of wood. There are many types of wood available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some woods are more resistant to rot than others, while some are stronger but heavier. It is important to consider all these factors when choosing the best material for your project. Once you have selected the appropriate wood, it needs to be treated properly before being used in construction. This treatment process involves applying chemicals that will protect the wood from insects and decay. These treatments also help prevent moisture absorption, which can cause swelling or warping over time. After treating the wood, it should be dried thoroughly so that any excess moisture evaporates completely. Drying ensures that the wood remains stable during installation and prevents future issues related to shrinkage or expansion due to changes in humidity levels. Finally, once everything has been prepared correctly according to specifications set forth by local building codes along with safety regulations governing structural integrity standards then only can we proceed further towards completing our task successfully within given timeframe allotted initially.

Mayhew 1948 March 13 Journal 14 8 miles west of Gridley, Butte Co., Calif. conditions. There are 8 factors that may possibly cause pheasant shortage: (1) mowing hayfields, (2) cars kill birds, (3) poisoning, (4) predators, (5) poachers, (6) Plowing rice fields at nesting time, (7) extreme climatic conditions at critical period of life history of young chicks, (8) fertility. The peak of nesting in that area is at the time of the first mowing of alfalfa. The second mowing catches a few second nestings & kills some hens on the nest. The third mowing catches half-grown chicks. The fourth & fifth mowings are unimportant. As an example of the damage done, on 53 acres, 45 nests & 1/2 birds were found destroyed. There is also a high mortality rate in the only mowing of wetch. The flushing bar is thought to save up to 50% of the birds. However, it had no effect on the general population in the Chico area. Cars were found to have killed 385 pheasants on a 10 mile stretch during the months of July, August & September. This stretch had rice on one side of the road, wheat stubble on the other. As stated before, the birds wouldn't eat enough of the poison grain to kill them. Of 171 nests found, 34 were destroyed by coon, 13 by skunk, 9 by house cats, 2 by

The following points should be considered: (1) accessibility from main roads; (2) availability of water for irrigation; (3) soil type and fertility; (4) slope steepness (too steep areas cannot be plowed); (5) presence of rocks or boulders in fields which would interfere with machinery; (6) drainage conditions - too wet soils will not support crops unless drained properly. Other factors affecting land use include climate, rainfall patterns, temperature extremes, frost dates, etc. These must all be taken into account when deciding what kind of farming operation is best suited to any given piece of property. In addition to these physical characteristics there may also exist economic considerations such as cost of labor, availability of markets nearby, transportation facilities available locally, taxes imposed by government bodies responsible for collecting them on agricultural products grown within their jurisdictional boundaries along with other charges levied against farmers who operate under certain regulations set forth by state laws governing activities related directly towards production purposes involving cultivation practices employed during growing seasons extending over several years prior to harvest time occurring annually depending upon specific crop varieties planted each year according to market demands prevailing at that particular moment in history."

Of 65 other nests, 22 were "dump" nests, 4 abandoned, 17 hatched, 12 destroyed. House cats seem to do more damage toward the end of nesting season. The loss of game farm birds & house cats is high. Poaching cuts the pheasant population somewhat, but it has dropped off lately. Cold in the east & mid-west causes damage to young chicks, but it is thought that dryness causes the damage in California. It has been found that hens lay 30-40 eggs per year, but the average clutch size is 10.8 eggs. The rest of the eggs are deposited in "dump" nests. The fertility of the eggs in "dump" nests average 94%, that in good nests 98%, that on game farms 92. From May 1 to the end of June, these men make brood counts. This is done by driving down the road in a car in early morning & late evening. About July 1, experimental plantings of game farm birds is begun. About October 1, they prepare for the hunting season. (The age of the birds can be determined by the presence of a bursa in the dorsal wall of the cloaca in young birds, minute or absent bursa in old birds) Hunters took 78% of the total birds killed

1948 March 13 12 miles west of Gridley, Butte Co., Calif. At noon we were on the edge of a desert. The heat was intense. We had to stop every few hours to let the engines cool down. The sand dunes stretched endlessly before us, shifting with the wind. Our supplies were running low, and morale was beginning to sag. Despite these challenges, we pressed on, driven by the promise of reaching our destination. [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] [illegible]

Mayhew 1948 Journal 16. March 13 8 miles west of Gridley, Butte Co., Calif. on the first day of a 10 day period in the checked areas. 49.3% of the hunters got birds the first day, then the number dropped off. 85-90% of the birds killed are birds of the year. About January 1, bird census begins. This is done by observation from a car, or on foot, or by airplane, or by driving the birds, or by counting cock crows. The foot census is the best so far. March 14 This morning we made a tour of the refuge, partly by car, the rest on foot. There was intermittent rain and a strong south-east wind all day. Besides observing the waterfowl present on the refuge, we saw a freshly killed Lesser Snow Goose that was presumably killed by a hawk. Shortly after noon we traveled to the Bigelow ranch, where we made a practice pheasant drive through a field whose predominant vegetation was last year's stand of star thistle. Quite a number of pheasants were scared up - predominantly hens. We then went to the Sartain ranch, where we looked over some typical pheasant habitat in rice fields. As soon as we returned to the cars from this trip through the rice field, we started back to Berkeley. During the day, the following species of birds were observed - both in

We are planning to have a lot of fun together. I will pick her up at the airport on Wednesday afternoon. After that, we will go shopping in downtown San Francisco. Then we will meet up with some other friends and go out for dinner. We might also catch a movie or two if time permits. I am really excited about this trip because it has been such a long time since I last saw her face to face. It feels like just yesterday when we were kids playing tag in the park behind our houses. Now here she is again after all these years apart from each other. She looks so different but still very familiar somehow...like an old friend who suddenly reappears into your life out of nowhere...and then everything starts feeling normal once more as though nothing ever happened between us during those missing months...

April 18 Jasper Ridge, Stanford, Palo Alto. This was one of the most interesting trips we've taken to Jasper Ridge, Stanford, Palo Alto. The weather was perfect and we had a great time exploring the area. We started our day with a hike up to the top of the ridge. The views from the top were breathtaking - you could see all the way to the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. We also saw some deer grazing in the fields below. After lunch, we headed back down the trail and stopped at a small creek that runs through the park. We sat by the water for a while, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Overall, it was a wonderful day spent outdoors with friends. I would definitely recommend Jasper Ridge to anyone looking for a nice place to spend an afternoon.

Most of today was spent driving around the ranch to give Earl Hubbs a chance to shoot some cats for his research problem. The weather was warm, the sky cloudless, + no wind. A number of Mallards were seen, but not too many as pairs. In most cases, the birds seen were a number of drakes together. In addition to the birds seen previously on the ranch, the following were seen today: Red-shafted Flicker, House Finch, Kingbird, Snowy Egret + Screech Owl. June 15 Today I rode a grain harvester while it was harvesting barley in order to see how many pheasant + Mallard nests are destroyed by the harvest. We covered 31 acres today, + found 5 Mallard nests + pheasant nests. Of this number, 3 were destroyed by the harvester, the remainder were merely uncovered. A number of ♀ Mallards were seen flying low over the stubble, apparently searching for their nests. Occasionally they would drop into the stubble + walk around as though looking for something. Rarely was a ♂ Mallard seen. (30 Mallard eggs, 0 pheasant eggs) June 18 We covered 10 more acres of barley today with the harvester (a "side header"). 2 Mallard nests were found, with a total of 16 eggs. One of the nests was directly destroyed by the harvester.

Mayhew 1949 Journal 22. June 21 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. We covered 32 acres of barley with the harvester today. A total of 4 Mallard nests were found today, none of which were damaged by the harvester. There was a total of 25 eggs in the mallard nests found today. June 23 Today the harvester covered another 32 acres. I found 4 mallard nests + 2 pheasant nests, with a total of 20 mallard eggs + 18 pheasant eggs. None of the nests were destroyed by the harvester. June 25 Today I went around to see what had occurred at the nests uncovered by the harvester. Beef cattle are now pasturing on the grain stubble, & they had trampled 1 nest. The remainder that I checked today had been deserted, either because the % couldn't find the nest again, because there was not sufficient cover around the nest, or because the disturbance created by the harvester had frightened them all away. July 9 Today John Earl & I covered most of the ranch looking for mallards. However, while he was with me, we found only 1, a f.

The I was on the nest the first time I saw it, but she was gone when I returned. About 1/2 mile north of the pumping station at the south end of the ranch, in the mud flats just east of the main canal, I saw a rather large flock of Black-necked stilts + Avocets. Intrigued in the flock I could see Marbled Godwits, Long-billed Dowitchers, 2 White-faced Sloppy Ibis, a Forster's Tern, + 8 Cinnamon Teal. This is the first time I have seen White-faced Sloppy Ibis in this area. This spot is in the middle of Section 27. A few moments later, some Greater Yellow-legs + a Blue-winged Teal arrived. I have seen this "Blue-wing" in the area off + on for the past 12 days. About a mile farther on, a Western Willett was seen in a group of Stilts, Avocets, Dowitchers + Greater Yellow-legs.

April 10 Dear Sir, I am writing to you because I have been told that your organization is interested in helping young people who are facing financial difficulties. My name is [illegible], and I am a student at [illegible] High School. Recently, my family has faced some unexpected challenges that have made it difficult for us to pay for school supplies and other educational expenses. Despite these hardships, I remain committed to my education and believe that with the right support, I can overcome these obstacles and achieve my goals. I am reaching out to see if there might be any resources available through your organization that could assist me during this time. Whether it's a scholarship, grant, or other form of financial aid, any help would make a significant difference in allowing me to focus on my studies without worrying about finances. Thank you for considering my request. I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [illegible]

When we had covered all the rice on the ranch, we flew over all sloughs, ditches, etc. that might contain ducks. As we were able to count blackbirds, stilts, shrikes, etc. from this altitude, we don't feel that we missed many ducks. Miller counted 54 Mallard + 28 Cinnamon Teal from his side — I counted 156 Mallard + 15 Cinnamon Teal on my side. This made a total of 210 Mallard + 43 Cinnamon Teal found on the ranch. As there is approximately 5000 acres of rice on the ranch, this would mean about 1 duck for every 19.7 acres, or 1 Mallard for every 23.8 acres. 1950 Feb. 26 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. Today I drove over the southern half of the ranch to see how many Mallards were in the area by now. We have been having regular May weather for the past 10 days or so, so I wanted to see how this early warm weather affected the bird population. There were large numbers of ducks on several ponds that were formed by the earlier rains. These groups were made of several species — principally Mallard, Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Baldpate, + a few Cinnamon Teal. The species of bird

They showed me around the property and introduced me to their friends. After lunch, we continued our tour of the ranch. We visited the barn, where they keep all their horses and other animals. Then we went out into the fields, where they grow wheat, oats, and barley. It was a beautiful day, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

1920 Feb 5th Conaway Pond, 3 miles east of Woodland, Yolo County The town of Nevada City is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It sits at an elevation of approximately 4000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by towering peaks that are often covered with snow during winter months. Nevada City was originally called "Dry Diggings" when it was founded in 1850 by a group of miners who had come to California seeking gold. The town quickly grew as more prospectors arrived, drawn by the promise of wealth from mining operations throughout the region. Today, Nevada City remains one of Northern California's most charming small towns. Its historic downtown area features well-preserved buildings dating back to the mid-19th century, many of which now house shops, restaurants, and galleries showcasing local artistry and craftsmanship. In addition to its rich history, Nevada City offers numerous outdoor activities for visitors and residents alike. Hiking trails wind through nearby forests and meadows, providing opportunities to explore nature while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Skiing enthusiasts can also find plenty of fun on nearby slopes during colder months. Whether you're interested in learning about the past or simply relaxing amidst beautiful scenery, there's something for everyone in this picturesque corner of Northern California.

Baldpate - 3 Audubon's Warbler - 4 Canvasback - 4 American Merganser - 4 Mockingbird - 4 This made a total of 35 species seen today; March 6 I spent this afternoon on the southern end of the ranch, looking primarily for evidence of territories being established by the Mallard population. The sky was partly overcast with occasional sprinkles & a strong north wind was blowing. Although a fair number of Mallards were seen, no birds were seen with definite territories as yet. A fairly large number appeared to be paired already, however. An enormous flock of Canadian, Hutchins & Cackling Geese was seen near some ponds formed from rain water in low spots. These ponds are in the middle of former grain fields, so there is no cover whatever for more than 2 miles in any direction. As a result, it awfully hard to approach them too closely. I would judge there were over 5,000 geese in this one flock that I saw. The birds seen, with their relative abundance, on the ranch today, were as follows: American Pipit - 3 House Finch - 3

The campsite was located near a small stream that flowed into the river. The water was cold and clear, and we could see fish swimming below the surface. There were also some ducks and swans in the water, enjoying the coolness of the day. As we walked along the shore, we noticed several types of birds nesting in the trees around us. Some were building nests, while others were already settled in with their young ones. It was a beautiful sight to see nature at work. Later on, we decided to take a boat ride down the river. The water was calm and peaceful, and it felt like time stood still. As we floated along, we saw more birds flying overhead, including eagles and hawks soaring high above the trees.

One group of 3 or together, & 2 groups of 2 or together were seen. Apparently, mating has not begun, at least for the vast majority. I was surprised at the small number of Black-necked Stilts + Avocets that were seen. The numbers of Avocet have dropped off considerably in the past

Mayhew 1950 April 26 Conaway Ranch, 2mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. I spent this morning from 6:30 on primarily looking for Mallard nests. However, most of these birds are still looking for nesting sites. Quite a few were seen flying low over the wheat + barley fields, but I found no nests. I did find one Killdeer nest, though. About 1/2 of the rice land is flooded by now. A large number of Mallards were seen loafing on these flooded areas after 9A.M. Until that time, most of these birds were seen flying over the grain fields. A great many Long-billed Dowitchers were also seen on this flooded area.

The majority of them were seen loafing on the newly flooded fields. I didn't reach the wheat & barley fields until 8:50A.M., + by that time, apparently, all searching for mating sites was over for the morning. A flock of 55 White-fronted Geese flew over, going north.

April 28 At 6 A.M. I was between wheat & barley fields to see in which fields the most mallards were searching for nesting sites. As I had already believed, the great majority of the birds were seen flying low over the grain (wheat) at the S.E. corner of the grain area (section 17). By 7:30 A.M. most of the ducks had either returned to the flooded rice fields or were loafing on ditch banks that passed through the grain fields. However, a pair would still be seen in the air occasionally when I left the area at 8 A.M.

While driving around to locate Cliff Swallow colonies, a pair of White-tailed Kites were seen above the willows just north of the road. They were flying back & forth, occasionally diving at one another.

The water was very high in the creek at this time & about 8:30 P.M. we got to a place where we had to wade through the water which was knee deep but the current was strong enough to carry us off our feet. We managed to get across safely though it was rather dangerous. The next morning we started early and went about 12 miles before we reached another good camping ground. Here we found plenty of wood and water, also some game tracks near by. At noon we stopped for lunch and then continued on our way until late in the afternoon when we arrived at another fine campsite. This place had a beautiful view of the valley below and was surrounded by tall trees. After dinner we sat around the fire telling stories and playing games until bedtime. It was one of those evenings that make you feel glad to be alive. April 18 Chiles Ranch 3 mi N.E. of Davis Yolo Co Cal. This morning Frank Cates & I went over his ranch looking for a spot where we could build a cabin. We found an excellent site on top of a hill overlooking the valley. The soil is rich and there is plenty of water nearby. We spent most of the day clearing the land and cutting down some trees. It was hard work but very satisfying. By evening we had made quite a bit of progress. In the afternoon we went fishing in the creek below the camp. We caught several good-sized fish which we cooked over the fire for supper. It was delicious! After eating we sat around the fire again talking about our plans for building the cabin. Frank says he thinks we should start laying the foundation tomorrow if possible. March 19 The weather was very nice today so we decided to take advantage of it and go exploring further up the river. We took along our rifles just in case we ran into any wild animals. We walked for about two hours before coming upon a large clearing surrounded by dense forest. There were signs of recent activity here—broken branches, footprints, etc.—but nothing definite enough to indicate what kind of animal might have been passing through. While resting under a shady tree we noticed movement among the bushes nearby. At first we thought it was just a deer or elk but upon closer inspection realized it was actually a bear! It looked quite small compared to others I've seen before though still big enough to be dangerous. We quickly backed away from the area without making any sudden movements while keeping our eyes fixed on the creature until it disappeared into the woods. What a close call!

Camp tonight was made on the west side of the sea, on the road from ~~Highway~~ Highway 99 to Julian. Our camp was about 1/4 mile north of the Julian Road, 3.2 miles west of 99. (7.9 miles east of San Felipe Creek Bridge on Julian Road). Night collecting trips were made to within the Anza State Park area on Julian Road, on road to Borrego, and on road from Ocotillo to Split Mountain & the gypsum mine. On these trips, 25 Coleonyx variegatus were collected, as well as 1 Diplosaurus dorsalis, one Arizona elegans (DOR) and 1 Chionactis occipitalis (DOR). One sidewinder (Crotalus cerastes) was found, but not collected. There was some breeze blowing early in the evening, but slackened during the night. Although mammal traps were set again tonight, no animals were caught. Mar. 31 This morning we walked south from our campsite to San Felipe Creek. Several Callisaurus draconoides were caught, as well as 1 Phrynosoma mcallii (in a wash). Large numbers of annual plants were in bloom in the sand that had blown into the arroyos.

Two species of fish were caught in San Felipe Creek - Sembusia affinis and a species tentatively identified by Lars Carpelan as Gillichthys mirabilis, Family Gobiidae. No Phainopepla were seen on this trip anywhere near San Felipe Creek, whereas in January, when Rudy Ruibal & I were there, large numbers were seen here. Apr. 5 Today Rudy Ruibal + I left for the Salton Sea area. We left campus at 11:15 A.M. and turned off highway 99 at Truckhaven, Imperial Co. We traveled west along the Arroyo Salada until we reached the Mud Hills. This area is quite barren as far as perennial vegetation is concerned, but a close inspection of the ground showed that lots of annuals are now present, + most of them are in flower. We proceeded down the Arroyo Salada until we crossed into Borrego State Park. During this time, we caught two kinds of mites + one Phrynosoma platyrhinos. Inside the state park we crossed Ella Wash, then Smoke Tree Wash, then traveled south on Short Wash. a little later this led us into San Felipe Creek Wash. We followed this south until we reached highway 78

Journal 1925 March 18, 7:30 PM Work here is dull, but I am trying to pick up some work on the side. There are no opportunities for real art here, and it is very discouraging. I feel like I have lost my touch, that I can't create anything of value anymore. It's a terrible feeling. But I must keep going. I can't give up now. Not when I'm so close to making something truly great. I've been working on a new piece, and it feels different this time. More alive, more vibrant. Maybe it will be the one that changes everything. I just need to believe in myself again. That's all.

Night collecting along highway 78 between the two previously mentioned points produced one Chionactis occipitalis. Collecting on the road to Split Mountain from Burro Bend yielded one Phyllorhynchus. We saw 2 dead & 1 live sidewinder, and several live Coleonyx variegatus. Coleonyx were not nearly as plentiful on the road tonight as last week. There was about ¼ of a moon tonight & none last week, but otherwise conditions appeared to be about the same, Apr. 6 We drove into San Felipe Creek from our campground of last week (3.2 miles west of highway 79 on highway 78). We found Harpers Well is located about ½ mile west of our approach to the creek last week. One species of fish was actively breeding at this time. Two females were caught, but we were unsuccessful in catching any males. Along highway 78 we saw more than 100 Swainson's Hawks sitting on the ground, & low bushes, or circling in the air. We were able to approach them quite closely. About 11 AM the wind began to blow quite hard, and most of our gear became filled with sand. As we travelled west on

Friday, March 21, the Zoology 146 class (23 students attending), Ed Koo & Rudy Ruibal accompanied me to the west side of the Salton Sea near Truckhaven. We took the Truckhaven Trail toward Borrego, camping 8 miles west of Truckhaven. It began to rain very hard about 2 A.M. Saturday morning, and didn't stop until 5:30 A.M. Everyone that could got back into the station wagons & pick-ups to spend the rest of the night. The sun came out that morning, however, and dried everything out. We left Truckhaven about noon Saturday & proceeded to Highway 78, stopping due north of the junction of San Felipe & Carrizo Creeks (Marsh of San Sebastian). One half of the students accompanied me to the creeks while the other half ran temperature transects through mesquite dunes. Then we traded groups and repeated the operation. The creeks were quite high and terribly choked with silt from the heavy rains. This is the only time I have ever seen the Arroyo Salada and San Felipe Creek at

We spent the night (Saturday) camped in an old stone shell of a building about 1/2 mile east of Burro Bend to get out of the wind that had been blowing all day. Sunday morning we drove to Yaqui Well to look at birds & try to find some reptiles. We then returned to Riverside, arriving at 5:30 P.M. Sunday. Because of the bad weather, not so many animals were found as expected. However, the following animals were seen or captured: 8 mi. W.

Mayhew 1958 Journal 63. Mar. 29 Colorado and Mojave Deserts, Calif. This morning at 10 A.M. Frank Vaske & I started on a scheduled 5-day trip through the Northern Colorado Desert and most of the Mojave Desert as far as Death Valley. The weather was partly cloudy but fairly warm. (Speedometer reading 2897) We drove through Indio to Mecca, then through Box Canyon in the Mecca Hills to Desert Center. We went north toward Rice from Desert Center, but off on another road to cross Danby Dry Lake. When we reached the Santa Fe railroad tracks, we turned left to parallel the tracks through Chubbuck to Cadiz, then along the highway to Amboy. After refueling, we took a road toward Kelso from highway 66 east of Amboy. We camped for the night at 8:30 P.M. about 4 miles north of highway 66. (Speedometer reading: 3144.) Flowers were growing in profusion about 8 miles north of Desert Center. There were also fairly abundant areas in Box Canyon & just north of Danby Dry Lake. Although a large number of lizard tracks were seen near Desert Center, no lizards were seen all day. Andalusian warblers, phainopeplas, & mockingbirds were seen.

Mar 59 Colorado and Mojave Deserts, Calif. The morning of 10 AM, Frank's Nords + I got a schedule or 2 hikes & I tried to get some photos of the newly formed crater lake in the middle of the valley. The sky was very cloudy / not good for photography (see photo #389) (or whatever) But we tried anyway. The road is very bumpy and rough, but it's worth it to see the lake. It's a beautiful spot, but you have to be careful because there are no railings or anything. You could easily fall in if you're not careful. We saw some animals too, like deer and rabbits. They were very cute! Overall, I think it was a great trip. I would definitely recommend going here again someday.

Mayhew 1958 Mar. 30 Journal 64. Colorado and Mojave Deserts, Calif. This morning near our campsite birds were much in evidence. Black-chinned sparrows were rather abundant and quite vocal early. By 8 A.M. they had stopped singing, however. Their territories may be rather small, apparently, since several could be seen in the tops of perennials & heard singing in a remarkably small area (less than 5 acres). Other birds seen at this site were: rock wren, Costa hummingbird, Cassin's kingbird, house finch, ash-throated flycatcher, Audubon's warbler, phainopepla. The campsite is in a dry wash along the northern base of the Bristol Mountains. We left camp at 8:30 A.M. We drove along a gravel road toward Kelso until we reached a road turning left toward the Kelso sand dunes. The road is 8.5 miles south of Kelso. We spent considerable time at the dunes, after driving 4.9 miles from the road to Kelso to the south side of the dunes. Large numbers of wild flowers were seen along the road from last night's camp to Kelso. We left Kelso by way of a road that turned due west at Kelso, went through a pass toward the Devil's Playground, then turned north on a dirt road toward Baker just east of the

This was an extremely bad year. MAZ got the best thing intended, most of them being the same as other years, but this year was different. The weather was not very good. The first few days were cold and rainy. But then it got warm and sunny. We went to the beach several times. We also went to the park and played baseball. We had fun playing games. We ate ice cream after dinner. We watched movies at night. It was a great summer!

Mayhew 1958 Journal 65. Mar. 30 Mojave Desert, Calif. Devil's Playground. Wildflowers were very abundant in this area, but the road was quite sandy in places, & sand had blown into several of the washes, so it was rather hard to get through some of them. The route from Klaco to Baker was 38 miles long. We take highway 127 out of Baker, heading for Death Valley. We camped for the night at Saratoga Springs, just inside the national monument boundary. The wind was continuous, but reasonably gentle from Kelso dunes to Baker, However, from Baker to the national monument, the wind blew like the deuel. Nevertheless, we were able to camp in the lee of some tamarisks, & the wind at the springs was not nearly so violent. The sky is almost completely overcast. (Speedometer reading :3274.2.) Mar. 31 Mojave and Amargosa Deserts, Calif. & Nev. This morning at 7AM we left Saratoga Springs and headed north along the floor of Death Valley. The sky was partly overcast all day, and a fairly strong SW breeze was blowing most of the time, but the temperature was reasonably warm. We stopped for a while at Badwater and collected some insects and I think mites. The salinity is

At Furnace Creek, we took highway 190 to Death Valley junction, then highway (Calif.) 127 - (Nev.) 29 to Lathrop Wells, Nevada, followed by U.S. Highway 95 to Beatty, Nevada. We side-tracked through Rhyolite (a ghost town), then continued on Nevada highway 58 to the turn-off to Titus Canyon. We proceeded 9.7 miles up the road to Titus Canyon where we camped for the night at 5:30 P.M. (Speedometer reading - 3464.0) I failed to mention a side-trip, we took through Artists Drive before we reached Furnace Creek. One climbs a couple of thousand feet (it appears) above the floor of Death Valley, so one gets a fine view of the valley in both directions. Very few vertebrates were seen all day. Some raven and rock wrens was seen at our campsite, but little else was seen. Not many flowers were found in the southern end of Death Valley, although many of the perennials looked as though a fair amount of rain had fallen this winter. Most of the Amargosa

Mojave and Arizona Deserts, California. Supposed to be only 25% of the entire desert land at any given time. A lot of this area was also called in the Grand Canyon & Fort Irwin, CA. In fact, I saw a 190 mile stretch of road from Vegas to LA that had no signs of life (except for the occasional cactus). The temperature was around 211 degrees Fahrenheit! This is not a joke - it's true! There were many times when I thought about turning back because I felt like I was going crazy out there alone. But then again, maybe that's part of what makes traveling so exciting? You never know where you'll end up next!

Mayhew 1958 Journal 67. Mar. 31 Mojave and Amargosa Deserts, Calif. & Nev. Desert seemed to be in winter yet, although the perennials looked in good shape. Lots of annuals were seen in some spots, but in most places they were not in flower yet. April 1 Rain began to fall about 3 A.M., but since we had decided before going to bed that it probably would rain, we were sleeping in the back of the station wagon already. We arose at 5:30 A.M., and after a very quick breakfast, we were packed and on the road by 6:30 A.M. As the dirt road was becoming rather slick by this time, we decided we had better not try to go on through Titus Canyon. Therefore, we returned to Highway 58 in Nevada, then to the floor of Death Valley through Daylight Pass. The weather here was overcast, but not raining. We turned north on highway 190 to reach the north end of the valley. We turned around a Death Valley Scotty's Castle and retraced our steps. It was raining in the valley by this time. We could see that snow was still falling above where we had camped (some snow and hail had fallen on us before we broke camp). A strong wind was blowing on

April 1 Rain began at magd ming thing really plainly in the rain and I was in the open air, I was standing on a hill side and I could see the light of the sun shining through the clouds. The sky was very dark and heavy, and there was a great wind blowing. I had been walking for some time, and I was tired and wet. I thought I would go to the nearest town and stay at an hotel. I walked on for some time, and then I saw a light in the distance. I went towards it, and found that it was a small village. I entered the village and asked for an hotel. They told me there was no hotel, but that they could give me lodging at their house. I accepted their offer, and they took me to their house. They gave me a warm fire, and some food, and I felt very grateful to them.

Just north of this area, however, the rain came down on us so hard the windshield wipers could barely keep the windshield clean. We left the valley on highway 190, past Stovepipe Wells, over Towns Pass into the Panamint Valley. We ate lunch behind the ranger's checking station on this road while the rain came down so heavily we could scarcely see 100 yards in any direction. It was not raining very hard in Panamint Valley, but the snow level on the surrounding mountains was so low that the weather was quite cold. The same general weather conditions prevailed as we went through Trona, Johannesburg, Red Mountain, and Atolia. Quite a bit of rain fell on us as we drove down highway 395 toward San Bernardino, but we ran into fog instead in Cajon Pass. We saw few animals all day, but the wildflower displays were very good in several places. For instance, at the lower end of Daylight Pass, at the western end of Titus Canyon,

He told us that he used to be a miner but gave up mining when he got too old. Now he spends his days fishing, hunting, and enjoying nature. He also mentioned that he has never seen any wild animals except rattlesnakes since moving here. We continued our journey along the riverbank until we reached another campsite where we spent the night.

We took the dirt road through Upper Lucerne Valley to Stoddard Well, then north toward the paved road to Barstow. About a mile south of the paved road we stopped to look for Gopherus agassizi. We found two young ones and several holes of others just as the sun set. Then we tried night collecting on the paved road from Barstow to Lucerne Valley. No nocturnal animals were found, but numerous diurnal animal remains were found on the highway, as well as one live Crotalus cerastes: Dipsosaurus dorsalis Crotalus scutulatus Crotaphytus wislizeni Uta gracilis Callisaurus draconoides Phrynosoma platyrhinos Near Lucerne Valley we saw a

During the day we saw 3 live rattlers and one dead one, so they seem to be more numerous this year. In fact, we have seen live rattles on every class trip this year. Ed Koo nearly stepped on one today, but luckily it didn't strike at him. We caught 6 chuckwallas this trip, + saw 3 more, at the same spot we saw and caught only one last year.

This morning at 8:40 AM (PDST) the Zoology 146 class began a field trip to the east side of the campus. Rudy Ruibal took ½ the class + mapped some quadrats after looking for animals for a while. My group (with Bobby on his first field trip) spent the morning looking for animals. The early portion was spent looking at birds, the latter portion was spent looking for reptiles. The morning was overcast, but no rain fell during our trip. The animals seen were:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them.

To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.

May 16 Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Co., Calif. Along the road north of Lucerne Dry Lake we caught one Callisaurus draconoides and 2 Siphonops agassizi (9 miles N. of Lucerne Valley). We camped for the night along a dirt road that was west of the Lucerne Valley- Barstow Road. We were 6.1 miles S. of Barstow where the dirt road left the pavement, then 1.2 miles S.W. on Stoddard Well Road.

We stopped once in the rocky area a mile or two out of Banning to look for Xantusia henshawi and Phyllodactylus tuberculosus, but we didn't find any of either. Our next stop was on a branch of the San Jacinto River. We caught several Sceloporus gracilis here, as well as some Sceloporus occidentalis. After lunch, we drove through Idyllwild to Mountain Center, where we turned left on State Highway 74 toward the desert. We turned right at Paradise Valley Junction toward Anza, Cabilla & Aguanga. At Aguanga we turned left on State Highway 79. We continued on this road until we were about 6 miles south of Julian. At this point we turned onto Sunrise Highway, which goes through the beautiful Laguna Mts. We then turned left onto Highway 80.

We stopped near an abandoned adobe house for supper. The wind was blowing very hard, so we tried to use the remains of the shack for a wind-break without too much success. At dark we started toward Calxico again, night-collecting on the way. We picked up 3 Bufo woodhousei 7 miles west of Calipico on the road. 6 miles east of Calexico we picked up a Rhinocleus. (FOR) Between Calipico & Winterhaven we caught 3 specimens of Arizona elegans and 1 Phyllorhynchus decurtatus. The wind was blowing rather strongly all evening, and the weather was cool for this time of year, so we didn't find too many animals out. We made camp about 2 AM about 35 miles miles west of Winterhaven, Imperial Co., Calif., or 22 miles east of Calexico. The wind had about disappeared by the time we camped for the night. June 12 at 7:30 AM we headed east on Highway 80 to get to the Sand Hills (also called Yuma Dunes or Algodones Dunes). We caught several Uma notata in the

We left the dunes at 10:30 AM (PDT) (temp of air - 84°F.) and headed west again. We stopped 11 miles west of the Sand Hills to look for reptiles. The creosote bushes were like young trees in the area. The vegetation looked so verdant, we thought the area must be crawling with reptiles. However, we saw nothing but tracks for the first 45 minutes or so. We were on our way back to the car when Fritz spotted a Dipsosaurus dorsalis. We spent another hour searching after that. During this time, 5 Dipsosaurus were captured and 2 more seen. One Callisaurus draconoides was also seen. None of the animals were over 50 yards from the highway, even though we walked a considerable distance from the road. Then we drove to El Centro for "brunch" and some rest. After an hour or so in the park in El Centro, we drove up Highway 99 to Highway 78, where we turned left & proceeded to Buns Bend.

Although no wind had been blowing during the day, it blew quite hard after sun- down. The temperature was a good deal below normal for this time of the year (got to 59°F. during the night). Consequently, almost nothing was on the road. A total of 3 Phyllorhynchus decurtatus were finally collected, and all of these were on the Vallecito Road. (This road is now paved 16 miles from Scissors Crossing.) We returned to Yaqui Well at 12:30 AM & camped for the rest of the night. June 13 After observing the birds around Yaqui Well for 2 while this morning, we started for home at 10:30 AM. 3½ miles south of Warner's Hot Springs we found a small bridge with a good-sized colony of cliff swallows. It would be an easy bridge to work - no water, low, can be completely sealed. 26 miles N.W. from Warner's Hot Springs another bridge was found that contained cliff swallows and bats (Myotis yumanensis).

This was not a heat wave but rather an intense local heating due to clear skies and light winds. The temperature dropped rapidly after sunset because there was no cloud cover to trap the heat. On June 1st, a cold front moved into the area bringing cooler air and some rain. Temperatures fell below normal for several days. By mid-June, the hot weather returned with temperatures reaching 105° F. or higher. Humidity levels remained low throughout the month.

Another bridge was found 2'½ miles west of the previous one (Dripping Springs), which also would be easy to work. Another bridge 5.3 miles west of this one (5'½ miles east of junction of Highways 714 395) could not be worked effectively. (It is exactly 40 miles from this junction to UCR.)

We drove into the area about as far as the car would go, then walked into the mouth of Deep Canyon for about ¼ mile. By this time (0800) only Uta were seen moving, and not many of them. One Uta moavensi was seen about 20 feet above the canyon floor just inside the mouth of the canyon. The remains of an adult Sauromalus obesus we found at the same place in a crevice about 10 feet above the floor. Water had come down the canyon from last week's rains, so there were still damp spots in depressions near boulders in the stream bed. Fresh mountain sheep tracks were seen in nearly every one of these damp depressions, but we saw no sheep. Ocotillo are again in leaf in this area, and Belleperone is in bloom. Some new leaves were also seen on the palo verde. Nearly all of the perennials are quite green. We then proceeded down highway 99 past the Salton Sea to highway 78. San Felipe Creek had water flowing under 99, but not under 78. However, one could see where it had been flowing quite recently there.

Sept. 10 Barton Flats area, San Bernardino Co., Calif. This morning at 0715 Warren Gross and I left Riverside for Barton Flats and the San Gorgonio Wild Area. We reached the wild area (about 50 miles away) at 0845. There is a comfortable trail leading from the parking lot over "Poop-out Hill" on toward the summit of San Gorgonio. We followed the trail for a mile or so, then dropped down into a beautiful meadow at the edge of the south fork of the Santa Ana River. Lots of birds and some squirrels were active here, but no lizards were seen, even though the weather was very pleasant. We caught one of Sceloporus graciosus & saw several others of the same species upon our return to "Poop-out Hill." We didn't see any before that, however. The first lizards we seen about 1145 when the air temperature was 22.2°C, (72°F.) and the surface temperature was 33.8°C. (92.9°F.). This spot is about 8000 feet in elevation. Later we dropped down past Jenkins Lake

Only one lizard was seen at this spot, but the glimpse I had was so short I couldn't identify it. We captured one young of the year (S. gracilis) on the road near Jenkins Lake (~7000'). We left this area at 1450, and reached Riverside at 1510. Sept. 18 Mojave Desert, Calif. This morning at 0430 Dee Munro, Frank Aubry, Fritz Zaebot, Mark Kohn and I left on a 3-day collecting trip.

We caught Xantusia vigilis, Uta stans- buriana, Sceloporus occidentalis, and Sceloporus magister in this area. In Stoddard Valley, north of Lucerne Valley, summer rains had produced a colorful carpet of annual flowers that were in bloom. In this location we caught Crotaphytus wislizeni, Calli- saurus draconoides, Uta stansburiana, & Cnemidophorus tigris. We then drove through Barstow to sand dunes a mile north of Newberry.

Uma scoparia, Callisaurus draconoides + Cnemidophorus tigris were seen. We walked around over a portion of the Amboy lava flow, but found no lizards active except Uta stansburiana. These were quite dark on the lava. We tried to find Uma scoparia on the wind- blown sand among the lava blocks, but had no luck. We saw many tracks however.

We then drove through Indio, down the east side of the Salton Sea to Brawley, then 25 miles east of Brawley to the Sand Hills (Algodones Dunes or Yuma Dunes). We reached the Sand Hills at 1430. The air temp. at this time was 40.2°C., the sand surface temp. was 50.5°C. It was still too warm for reptiles to be active, so we drove 12 miles east of Glamis to the junction of the road with the Ogilby-Palo Verde Road. Then we back-tracked about a mile to a dry wash that contained many green mesquite, etc. We collected several specimens here. Among them were Uta stansburiana, Sceloporus magister, Callisaurus draconoides, Diposaurus dorsalis. Also seen in the area were Cnemidophorus tigris and Sauromalus obesus. We reached this area at 1550 when the air temp. was 37.8°C., & the soil surface temp. was 44.5°C. We returned to Glamis at 1745 and tried to collect Uma notata on the dunes.

Some other adult Uma & many young were seen, but this was the only animal caught. Two juvenile Crotalus erastes were seen during this stop. As we began to drive toward Brawley in the dark (about 1825) an adult Urosaurus graciosus was collected from the road (still in the dunes). A short distance further on a ♀ Uma notata was collected DOR & preserved for her ovaries. A little later a juvenile Crotaphytus wislizeni (1900) was collected on the road, followed a few minutes later by an adult Coleonyx variegatus. At this time (1915) the air temp. was 32.2°C., the soil surface temp. was 31°C., & the road surface temp. was 35.5°C. We drove past the dunes, & on the outskirts of Brawley we collected an adult Bufo woodhousei in the road. After leaving Brawley, we drove to Ocotillo Wells. We turned south at this point toward the gypsum mine to set up camp. Along this road we collected one more adult Coleonyx variegatus and 2 juvenile Phyllodactylus dacentatus. In addition, we killed one Crotalus erastes at the

We located a rather good collecting spot for our transect work at about 4100 feet, which was 5 miles on up the Mill Creek Road toward Barton Flats. The 5000 foot collecting site, 3'1/2 miles further up the road, and 2'1/2 miles below Camp Angelus, doesn't look very easy to work. However, it should provide sufficient animals for our study. This spot is in rather precipitous country, compared to the 3000 & 4000 foot sites (both of which are in the stream bed). The 6000 foot site is 2'1/2 miles above Camp Angelus, and 3 miles below the Jenks Lake turnoff. This area looks to be easy to work. We ate lunch at Barton Flats campground #2 (6260 feet elevation, about 1 mile above Jenks Lake turnoff). The South Fork campground, about 3 miles on up the road from Barton Flats campground #2, but at the same elevation, was our next stop.

The entire trip covered 110 miles. The weather seemed ideal to us, and we were in good lizard country at the right time of day as far as we know. Nevertheless, few lizards were to be seen. Since S. occidentalis is found at lower altitudes generally than S. graciosus, one would believe that S. graciosus would be more tolerant of lower temps. than S. occidentalis. How- ever, we saw only adult S. occidentalis, even above 6000 feet.

We saw several lizards on tree trunks and telephone poles as we drove slowly along, so we stopped and caught several in this manner. The reason we saw several was probably a combination of warmer temp. (29.3°C. air temp.) and covering a greater area than previously. We drove down one dirt road to see if collecting from the car by driving slowly would be efficient. We are convinced it

At the junction of Highway 138 and Sheep Creek Road is a beautiful valley full of Joshua trees and junipers that might be ideal Sceloporus magister country. We plan to look it over next Spring. We reached UCR at 1205 after a total trip of 295 miles for the 2½ day period. We plan also to return to our campsite of last night to see if more animals are present there next spring.

At 0840 an adult Uma inornata was seen sitting in the sun at the base of a chrisote bush. Two other adults were caught a little later when they were seen on the surface. One other one was stirred out of the sand at the base of some vegetation. We decided to see what animals might be out on “Granddaddy Dune” along the old garret - 1800 Palms highway. We reached this site at 1010. Altitude

Some were seen on the surface, but most were dislodged from the sand at the base of vegetation. Most of them were found in the sand at the base of an annual on the lower edge of the dune on the lee side. When a lizard was dislodged from its hiding place, it nearly always headed for the nearest creosote bush, which was never far away. The only other animal seen at either of these sites was a juvenile Phrynosoma platyrhinos at the base of "Granddaddy Dune."

Rio del Sol Road on Clavey Lane (just north of Whitewater River channel), a dirt road to the left leads away from Clavey Lane about 1 mile from Rio del Sol (Pabonino Drive goes right at the same spot). By following this dirt road 1½ miles, one reaches the dunes. We returned to UCR from Palm Desert, reaching UCR at 1640. The entire trip covered 398 miles. It was obvious that adult Urna in both our collecting areas are not at all active at this time of year (at least, not this year). The weather was as fine as one can expect at this time of year, so if they are even active at this time, one would expect them to have been active this time. The adult Urosaurus this trip was a surprise, since we didn't expect any of them to be active yet. Journal 124.

This wasn't seen last week, so apparently the territories are not being defended as much as before. On one occasion, 10 males were seen pursuing a single female. The entire procession dropped to the south bank of the drainage ditch at the south end of the ranch. Very shortly, however, the birds again rose singly & in pairs, but the female did not rise while I was watching. May 22 In a flooded rice field, 11 males were seen in a rather loose group in one rice check. In addition, one pair of ducks were seen within 50 yards of this group of drakes. a hen was flushed from a ditch bank (south side) about 100 yards west of the end of a row of trees (2 rice levees from the trees), which was near a tule swamp just east of the main canal. She had laid one egg at the spot, but there had been no nest construction whatever. The egg was lying on the ground, surrounded by fairly high weeds (24 inches average height). The egg was warm to the touch, as though she had been sitting on it, but not as warm as a newly laid egg usually feels. She didn't circle the area as the hens usually circle their nests when disturbed,

June 4 About 3 PM I saw a ♀ fly up from a barley field, + on checking the area ① from which she flushed, I found her nest. I probably would have missed it, but for the fact that the ducklings in the nest peeped several times, giving me a clue as to the location. Except for one ② head sticking out, all the ducklings (6 in number) were completely covered with a mixture of duck down + pine grass. The nest, made directly on the ground, was profusely lined with down. The nest was located about 50 yards from a ditch on the south + about 150 yds. from a ditch on the west. The young were less than a week old; the remains of 2 eggs were still in the nest. The barley around the nest averaged about 24 inches high. One of the ducklings left the nest when I uncovered it, but upon being returned to the nest + re-covered, it remained quiet. Most of the ducklings were lying on their sides when I uncovered the nest, but they didn't seem to be bothered by my intrusion. They merely blinked their eyes & remained on their sides until I covered them again. Just as I was leaving the nest, the ♀ returned, made one wide circle of the area

June 5 (2) About 11 A.M. I flushed a f from the shore of a small pond in the middle of a barley field. She flew about 10 feet from the nest & settled on the pond. At my approach, she took off & flew in wide circles around the pond. The nest, containing 5 eggs, was composed of the dry sedge grass in which the nest was located. The grass was very dense around the nest. There were less than a dozen down feathers in the nest at this time. The nest was well concealed by the grass growing over & around it. (2) About 2:30 P.M. a hen with 7 young were seen in a drainage canal between 2 large barley fields. The young appeared to be out of the nest just a short time. The f led them into a patch of tules & disappeared. (3) Another nest was found in the same grain field that #1 is located. It contained 4 eggs. The nest consisted of about ½ down, ½ barley straw. The growing barley was well arched over the nest. (4) The next nest had 2 mallard eggs & 1 pheasant egg in it. The f Mallard was flushed from the nest. The nest was composed of down & barley straw.

I got my hair done today, and I am very happy with the results! The stylist was really nice and listened to what I wanted. She cut it into a layered style that looks great on me. I also got highlights added which makes my blonde hair look even more vibrant. Overall, I'm satisfied with how everything turned out. Today is Sunday, so I decided to take advantage of the nice weather outside by going for a walk around town. It's always fun exploring new places or revisiting old favorites like the park near where we live. After walking for about an hour, I stopped at a local café called "Bella Vista" for lunch. They have delicious sandwiches and pastries, plus their coffee is amazing! I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich along with an iced latte - perfect combo! After finishing up my meal, I headed back home feeling refreshed & energized from both physical activity AND good food. Once inside though... oh no!! My poor little doggy Max had been left alone all day while his humans were out working. Poor thing looked so sad when he saw me come through the door! But don't worry - after getting some attention and treats, he was happy again within minutes! Before heading off to bed tonight though, I took time to reflect on this wonderful day filled with self-care activities followed by relaxation moments spent enjoying nature's beauty around us. All in all, it definitely counts as one successful day!

(6) This nest contained 6 eggs & also had a profuse amount of down. These 2 nests were about 50 yards apart. June 11 This nest contained 2 eggs & one newly (3) hatched duckling. There was no evidence of [3] the 4th egg. There was very little down in the nest, and there was no covering over the youngster.

I reached this nest, only to find it deserted. The young were about 20 yards from the nest, heading for the canal about 40 yards away. In the tall gain I was unable to catch any of them, but I could tell there were several by the peeping at several places in the grain. They continued toward the ditch, with the f circling closely, trying to draw me away. The nest had only a small piece of one eggshell remaining in it, so ④ I assume all 6 eggs hatched successfully. In about 5 minutes one of the young joined the f in the canal. They swam back & forth with the youngster making peeping noises quite frequently & loudly. About 5 minutes later another youngster joined them. About this time I flushed another f about 30 yards farther on, but could find no trace of a nest. However, ⑤ I had marked a nest about 50 yards south of #6, & upon arriving at it, I found the young had gone. They could be heard in the barley, so I assume the f I flushed was leading her brood to the canal when I disturbed her.

When I left, the 2 were swimming north along the canal, still peeping loudly. ③ I found an abandoned nest with 7 mallard eggs, + 1 pheasant egg. 2 of the duck eggs had been broken, the rest were in an early stage of development when abandoned, a laboratory examination disclosed.

They were fed on boiled rice and milk, but this did them no good. The doctor said that the trouble was in their liver, and that it was necessary to give them some medicine. He also said that they might have been poisoned by eating something bad. June 18 The ducks seemed a little better today, but still refused to eat anything except bread soaked in milk. I gave them some more of the doctor's medicine, which he had prepared for me earlier. It was a dark liquid with an unpleasant smell, but I followed his instructions carefully and mixed it into their food. [illegible] The ducks continued to improve throughout the day. By evening, they were able to stand up straighter than before, though they still looked weak. Their feathers appeared cleaner and brighter too. This made me feel hopeful about their recovery.

I was able to scare 6 of the young out onto the open water while the f was fluttering wildly in the road & then on the reservoir. The young would flap their wings to help them over the water, but they didn't seem to be able to fly. 10 a f and 6 youngsters as big as she was were seen swimming along the east bank of the main canal just opposite the blackbird swamp (SW corner of section 27). The entire flock swam into the tule, where the youngsters preened & stretched their wings while the f swam at the edge of the tule in a watchful manner. The remains of 5 young were found on a rice levee in the SE corner of section 19 . None of them seemed to have been eaten, although the heads of all of them were missing. From the size of the remains, I would judge they had been about 1 week old. There was no evidence of a nest close by. July 19 One youngster about 6 weeks old was frightened III off a rice levee into the water. It swam ahead of me for about 20 feet, & when I tried to get close enough to net it, it dove through some vegetation & disappeared!

Mayhew 1949 Mallard 18. July 19 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. I waited for over 5 minutes, but saw no more sign of it. After I returned to the car, I watched the spot for 5 min. more, but there was still no sign of it. July 23 A group of 15 young mallards were seen together on some open water between tules on the large drainage ditch at the south end of the ranch. July 24 Today 32 youngsters were seen in the same area that the group was spotted yesterday. All of them are able to fly. July 26 This morning I made a census on the 160 acres in the S.W. quarter of section 19. A total of 11 mallards were found in that area. Of this total a & with 4 youngsters about 3 weeks old is included. In addition, one nest of 6 eggs, one nest with 2 eggs (no down), + one nest with 4 eggs were all found located on the rice levees of the area under observation. The total of 11 ducks for the 160 acres means an average of 0.069 ducks per acre, or about 1 duck for every 14.5 acres. The corn on the rice levees on this area consisted almost entirely of volunteer wheat that averaged about 3½ feet in height. The nearest grain field is about On the other 160 acres that was used in the census (NW quarter of section 28) a total of 18 mallards were seen. This section is just south of an 800 acre barley field that

Mayhew 1949 July 26 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. has already been harvested. The cover on the rice levers on this 160 acre plot consisted mostly of volunteer sudan grass which averaged about 3 feet in height. There were no broods found in this plot, although 3 of the & acted as though they had a nest or young nearby. However, the cover was so thick each time that I was unable to uncover a nest or to scare out any young. The total of 18 ducks on the 160 acres adds up to 0.1 duck per acre, or about 1 duck for every 8.9 acres. Adding the two plots together, that would be 29 ducks seen on 320 acres, or an average of 0.09 ducks per acre. This would average 1 duck for every 11 acres of rice. With approximately 5,000 acres of rice on the Conaway, the number of mallards, judging from this census, should be about 450 ducks. I don't understand what has happened, because I saw more adults than that before nesting had really gotten underway. However, I'm not very surprised at the results, because I have been finding approximately this number of ducks in covering other rice areas since June 23rd when the grain harvest finished. At that time the reduction in the number of ducks in the area was quite evident, & has remained so. I thought all along that the ducks had moved to some

Aug. 4 This nest was just as I saw it nearly 25 a month ago. The 2 eggs were still there, but the f had apparently long since gone. One egg was infertile & the other contained a duckling that was beginning to feather. I assume that the exposed position of the nest caused the death of the youngster rather than desertion by the f, since she was flushed from the nest 3 weeks after the grain had been cut around the nest. It is logical to assume that the heat of the sun beating directly on the eggs when the f was off the nest could kill the young while still in the shell. 1950 Feb. 26 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. This afternoon I found one flock of 25 Mallards with 1 or Pintail in the tules of the drainage ditch at the southern border of the ranch. The flock was made up mostly of ♂, but there were some f present. There is no sign of territories yet for the birds of this flock, because the entire group flew out of sight when I got out of the car. Farther down the drainage ditch I flushed several more in company with

Mayhew 1950 Feb. 26 Conway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. some Cinnamon Teal. At the southern end of the main canal I found a ♂ + ♀ swimming together as though they were already paired. When they flushed, they flew about 100 yards up the ditch and landed about 30 feet from another pair, + about 100 feet from still another pair. In the air, the ♂ followed the ♀, just as is the case with paired individuals. A moment later the first pair flew on up the ditch about 50 yards farther, again with the ♀ leading the way. Mar. 6 Four pair flushed from a long, narrow pond in a cut-over rice field. No two pair were closer than 50 yards & each other. In each case, the ♀ led & the ♂ followed. When I walked along the shore of this pond, I flushed 10 more pairs that took off singly as pairs, + 6 times I flushed groups of birds that numbered 6 or more birds to a group. Each of these groups consisted of exactly ½ ♂, ½ ♀. In addition, at the eastern end of the pond I flushed one flock of 25 birds, another flock of 30 birds. Both flocks contained both ♂ + ♀. This pond is in the S.E. section of section 19. Another pair was flushed from the main drainage ditch at the south end of the ranch.

1620 Feb 25 Conway Beach, 5 miles east of Woodbury, N.H. Last summer I was there I went to Maine last fall to see my friends and family. We went to Portland and spent a few days there. It was very nice. We had a great time. We visited the Old Port area and walked along the waterfront. The weather was perfect for sightseeing. We also went to the beach. There were many people enjoying the sun and sand. I took some pictures of the ocean view. It was beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer. Next time, I hope to visit again in the summer. Maybe next year we can all go together. I think it would be fun to explore more places around here. Portland is such a charming city with lots of history and culture. I recommend visiting if you ever get the chance. It's definitely worth it!

Mayhew 1950 Mallard 22. March 6 Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. Two more pair were flushed from the large drainage ditch. Mar. 12 2 pair were flushed from the big drainage ditch. They had been loafing together, & took off as a group. However, once in the air, they split up as 2 definite pair, with the ♀ leading in each case, & disappeared to the south. About 200 yards farther east another pair were flushed. They flew about ½ mile farther east & landed in a rice stubble field. In a ditch along the north-west corner of section 20 , 8 pair were seen. 7 of the pair were grouped along the ditch for about 50 yards. About 150 yards farther on the 8th pair were seen. As I approached, 4 pair took off together, a few minutes later another pair took off, then 2 more pair flew away, & finally the most distant pair flew away. In every case the birds disappeared to the south. There was no doubt in my mind that all of these birds were paired, because I watched their actions with binoculars before they flew away, & although they formed a loose group, each ♂ was swimming very close to a ♀. About 300 yards farther down the ditch 2 pair & a lone ♂ were seen swimming. They all flushed at the same time & started off towards the south together, but the group broke up very shortly, with the 2 ♀ +

While driving along the eastern edge of section 20, I flushed 4 pairs of birds. The 2 nd pair was about 300 yards north of the 1st, the 3 rd pair about 150 yards north of the 2 nd, + the 4 th pair about 100 yards north of the 3 rd. At no time today did I see any large flock of this species. April 2 Practically all pairs are found on territories now. I spent the day counting breeding pairs in the southwest corner of the ranch. The boundaries of the area covered were: the south + west boundaries of the ranch, the main canal on the east, + Gallup Road on the north (road just south of ranch headquarters). All the ditches were covered, except 3 that will be walked in a day or two. 76 breeding pairs were counted in this area. Of that number, 4 times I saw 1 ♂ with 2 ♀, but in each case it appeared that the ♂ was mating to one of the ♀, the other ♀ just seemed to be tagging along. Twice I saw a pair of ♂ together, once I saw 3 ♂ together, but at no time did I see any sign of mallards grouping together. The

A number of the pairs held so tight & the territory that a car driving by them did not make fly. Others, however, took off as soon as a car came near, but usually circled the area at quite a distance. Nine pair returned to their territories almost immediately, apparently, because I had to retrace my route on 2 different occasions, & each time, all of the pairs that had been flushed were flushed a second time from the same spots. In almost every case, the ♀ was the first to fly, followed by the ♂. The ♂ seemed to be aware of leaving the territory, but always followed the ♀. At no time today did I see any ♂ have to defend his territory. It appeared to me that there is more than enough room for territories for all the mallards that are present on the ranch without any need for overcrowding. April 4 Today I counted breeding pairs on all the land from the ranch headquarters north of the River Road. Then I covered all the territory east of

Mayhew 1950 April 4 Mallard 25. Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. ranch headquarters as far south as Todhunter Lake (sections 15 & 16). In addition, I walked the 3 ditches that I had not covered southwest of ranch headquarters. In these 3 ditches, I found only 6 breeding pairs, making a total of 82 breeding pairs in the area covered on April 2nd. 5 breeding pairs were seen in the area north & west of headquarters, while 18 pairs were seen east of headquarters in the area covered. This makes a total of 105 breeding pairs seen to date. On 2 occasions today, 2 or + 19 were seen, but on both occasions, when the birds took to the air, the 2nd or just seemed to tag along, not too close to the pair. Most of the ditches on the land north of headquarters were dry, which accounts for the small number of pairs seen on this part of the ranch. April 10 This afternoon I covered the S.E. corner of the ranch looking for territories. Although I saw quite a lot of water that appeared to be good for territories, I counted only 4 pairs of birds. This brings the total breeding pairs counted on the ranch to 109. This means an average of 1 pair for every 172 acres. April 26 A number of pairs were seen flying over barley & wheat fields early this morning.

1820 April 4 Cowans' Ranch, 5 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Cal. Treatise on Agriculture by L. Smith A treatise of the culture of the principal crops of this state and their management as applied to the soil and climate of California. By L. Smith. Published at San Francisco, 1864. Price $2.00. I have read the above work with great interest. It is a very complete treatise on agriculture, embracing all the branches of that science. The author has had extensive practical experience in farming, and his views are based upon long observation and careful experimentation. He gives full directions for the cultivation of every crop grown in California, including wheat, barley, oats, corn, potatoes, beans, peas, clover, alfalfa, orchard fruits, vineyards, etc. His remarks on soil preparation, manuring, irrigation, drainage, pruning, grafting, budding, insect pests, diseases, etc., are most valuable. He also treats of stock raising—cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, poultry—and mentions the different breeds suitable for each section of the state. A chapter is devoted to dairy products, showing how cheese, butter, and milk may be profitably manufactured from common materials found anywhere throughout the country. Another section contains information about bees, silk worms, canaries, pigeons, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, parrots, macaws, cockatoos, &c., &c., showing how they should be managed and fed so as to produce good results. There is also an appendix containing tables of prices paid for various articles used in agriculture during the past ten years (1854–63), together with statistics relative to production of grain, wool, hops, wine, fruit, vegetables, hay, &c., within this period. These tables will prove highly useful to those engaged in agricultural pursuits. In conclusion, I would say that this book deserves the attention of every farmer throughout California; indeed, it ought to be placed in the hands of all persons wishing to become acquainted with modern methods of cultivating land. It is written clearly and concisely, without any unnecessary technicalities or scientific jargon, making it accessible even to beginners. I cannot recommend it too highly.

Mayhew 1950 Mallard 26. April 26 Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. They flew low over the grain appearing as though they were looking for nesting sites. The ♀ flew in the lead in all cases, with the ♂ following behind. A number of times 3 & 6 birds would be seen flying together. These groups usually contained 1 or 2 ♀s & the rest ♂. The ♂ flew along for a short distance & then dropped out, as though they were looking for their own mates. By 9.A.M. very few were seen flying. Nearly all of them were seen loafing on the flooded rice fields at this time. April 28 at 6 A.M. I was between barley & wheat fields & see in which fields the most Mallards were searching for nesting sites. The great majority were seen flying over the wheat at the S.E. corner of the grain area (section 17). By 7:30 A.M. most of the ducks had either returned to the newly flooded fields for rice or were loafing on ditch banks that pass through the grain fields. May 7 I spent 2 hours in the middle of the day walking through wheat fields looking for Mallard nests, but I found none. I walked a little over 2 miles in the wheat field itself. I saw only 3 Mallards fly over the area the entire time — 2 of these were ♂? May 13 I covered another 2 miles of wheat today without a trace of a Mallard nest.

May 14 at 4:45 A.M. I was parked beside the wheat field. (The sun arose at 5:10 A.M.) a few birds were flying over the fields when I arrived, but the number rapidly increased in about 20 minutes - just about sun-up. Birds were flying about singly, in pairs, + in groups up to 9. One ♀ + 8 ♂ were seen flying over. Of this entire group I saw only one pair land in the grain field, + these landed along a ditch at the edge of the field. By 5:45 A.M. practically all the ducks had disappeared. The great majority of the birds seen flying over this morning were ♂. I saw no single ♀, and only 3 or 4 pairs.

In that area the wheat is very thick + about 4 feet high, so that one would almost be on top of a nest before he could see it. At 11:45 A.M. I visited the pothole 1 mile north of the old ranch headquarters. I found a ♀ with 8 young about 2 weeks old. I looked around the edge of the pothole, hoping to find her nest + perhaps be able to tell how many eggs she had incubated, but I couldn't find the nest. May 30 At 4:30 P.M., when I reached the grain fields, I saw a total of 12 ♀ flying in out of the wheat + going to the flooded rice fields. Therefore, I didn't walk through the grain at this time. Every one that I saw was flying out of the wheat fields. II The ♀ on the pothole still has 8 youngsters. All of them seem to be healthy. May 31 At 10:45 A.M. I started walking through wheat fields + covered 6 more miles in wheat without finding a trace of a nest. This was still in the area where the majority of ducks were seen looking for nesting sites. This makes a total of 12 miles of wheat covered without finding a single nest + only one young brood.

Mayhew 1950 Mallard 29. June 14 Conaway Ranch, 2mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. ① A nest was found in a cut-over grain field this morning. It contained 8 eggs + quite a lot of down. The ♀ flushed from the nest when I was about 25 feet from it. The field had been cut last Friday, June 9th. The ♀ circled the area until I left the nest site. This nest was found in a field directly west of Lee Baldock's house. June 15 A ♀ and 7 yearlings as big as the ♀ were ② seen swimming in a ditch 2 miles south of ranch headquarters. June 21 Today I rode a combine harvester while it was harvesting wheat in the area when I saw most of the birds looking for nesting sites earlier this spring. The combine operator told me that nearly all the ducks seen in the grain this year were concentrated in the southeast corner of the grain field (wheat) directly south of ranch headquarters. This was also where most of the birds had been seen looking for nesting sites. Today only 3 nests were found in the 50 acres that we covered today. ② A nest with 9 eggs was uncovered by the header. The rig was 30 ft. away from the nest when the ♀ flushed. The wheat was rather thin around the nest. The nest was about 150 yards from the

The wheat was about average in height (about 3 feet high) + not too dense. ④ A nest containing 8 eggs was run over by the header wheel. The ♀ flushed when the wheel was about 3 feet away from the nest. The young in the eggs were about 3/4 developed. June 22 Today I covered another 50 acres riding a combine. Only 2 nests were found all day, & only one of these was active. ⑤ A nest was found that contained the remains of 3 eggs that had hatched, & also contained 4 unhatched eggs. Young were present in all the remaining eggs, & were about 1/2 developed. The wheat cover was about average, & the nest was about 250 yards from the nearest water. ⑥ A ♀ was flushed from a nest containing 9 eggs. The header was about 10 feet away from the nest when she flushed. The wheat was sparse around the nest. The nearest water was 50 feet away. This made a total of 5 nests in 100 acres of wheat, or an average of 1 nest for every 20 acres of wheat.

Two other ♀ were seen during the afternoon, but no other youngsters, nor any ♂ were seen. July 19 While walking rice levees this morning I saw 2 ♀, but no sign of young with them. A ♀ with 2 youngsters as large [4] as she was were seen in the main ditch. Aug. 12 This morning Lee Baldock & I flew the annual duck census on the Conaway Ranch. When we added the totals, we had counted 184 Mallards + 62 teal. The flight was made in a Piper Cub, flying 75 miles per hour at between 150 & 200 feet. 1951 May 11 Today I covered the rice areas & the ditches of the Conaway to see how many ducks were there. The rice fields have just been flooded - in fact, some were in the process of being flooded. The great majority of the ducks seen were either resting on rice levees or were seen swimming in the rice ditches. A total of 225 Mallards were seen today. Of this number, 116 were ♂, 32 were ♀, & 77 were too far away to determine the sex. All the ♀ seen were closely accompanied

From what I saw, I would judge the breeding population to be the same, or slightly smaller than, last year. 1952 Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. Mar. 15 Almost all the Mallards seen today along the south boundary of the ranch were paired up. There was no sign of territorial activity, yet, however. April 26 Chiles Ranch, 3 mi. N.E. of Davis, Yolo Co., Calif. One pair was seen on a small pond just west of the barn. A ♂ was flushed from a pond at the south edge of the ranch. It circled the area several times, then was joined by a ♀, & both circled until I left the pond. About 3 dozen birds, mostly ♂s, were found on some rice paddies that were just being flooded at the S.E. corner of the ranch. Another pair were flushed from a drainage ditch, right beside the water tank + windmill on the eastern boundary of the ranch. 1 A ♀ + 6 young were seen in the large drainage ditch across the road on the north boundary of the ranch. They were about .2 mile east of the ranch building. As I drove by, all of them were flattened out in the shallow water with just

I stopped & backed up, but the ♀ was leading the young into the dense tulees nearby so that I didn't get too good a look at the young; however, I would judge them to be a couple of weeks old. ② About 100 yards farther west a ♀ and 5 young were seen, + these were about the same age as the previous brood. April 29 Conway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. ③ A ♀ and 9 youngsters about 2 weeks old was seen in the large drainage ditch forming the southern boundary of the ranch. She led them into the tulees, but pretty soon 2 of the youngsters were swimming about among the tulees, but in plain sight from where I sat in the car. Shortly 3 more were seen swimming with the first 2, but no more made their appearance after that. Several hours were spent walking through a wheat field looking for nests. No nests were found, however. The field is 1 mile long & 3/4 mile wide. Four trips were made across the width of the field. The stand of grain in the portion of the field I walked is not very good. The best grain is about 30 inches high, but a good deal of it is less than 12 inches in height. at 11:55 I took the temperature & relative humidity on the ground in some of the

Readings were then taken waist high (43 inches): rel. humidity - 44%, temp. 18.5°C. A fairly strong S.E. breeze was blowing, but the sky was clear. (at waist height, the rel. humidity dropped to 40% at first, then rose to 44% as the hygrometer cooled to the air temp. at that height.) a number of pairs were seen today, loafing on the large ditch in the center of the ranch, on the newly flooded rice checks, or on the open water on the east side of the ranch that is now flooded from the by-pass. Not many loafing or were seen by themselves. May 1 at 5 A.M. I arrived on the large levee in the middle of the ranch to see which grain fields the pairs would fly & look for nesting sites or to return to nests already established. Only about 2 dozen pairs were seen to fly over the larger wheat fields 2 miles south of ranch headquarters. Even with the aid of glasses very few pairs were seen flying over other areas of the ranch either. On a trip to the area north of ranch headquarters to look for potential nesting sites, several broods were seen in the large east-west ditch about 1/4 mile south of the

May 2 Mrs. Argante told me of a ♀ with a brood of 10 ducklings about 1 week old on a ditch at the east side of Sacramento, Calif. that were seen today. May 10 Vic Morejohn told me of seeing a ♀ + 6 newly hatched ducklings on his place today. May 16 Gray Lodge Refuge, Butte Co., Calif. Today some readings were taken from Mallard nests on the refuge. John Cowan + Don Beechman pointed out the nests they had located. The results were as follows: Nest 22 - 8 eggs; some down present; located under a brush pile near some willows. The ♀ had been off the nest about 40 minutes, according to Don Beechman.

When I reached the spot I was able to flush only 2 of the brood + the ♀. The young were about 1 week old. I was never able to find the remainder of the young, June 4 Most of today was spent looking for mallard broods on the Conaway Ranch. A total of 5 hours was spent in the field (9:30 A.M. & 2:30 P.M.), during which time 32 broods were seen. This is more broods than were seen during the entire seasons of 1949, 1950, + 1952 combined. With the continued rain of April + May this year, this is what was predicted.

Mayhew 1952 Mallard E 28 Experimental Univ. of Calif campus, Davis, Yolo Co., Calif. Feb. 29 The incubator has been set up to receive the mallard eggs that will be used in the humidity experiments. The incubator is a room 10 ft. x 9 1/2 ft. x 5 ft. that is heated by two electric heaters. In the room have been placed 4 plywood boxes that are 24 in. x 30 in. x 10 in. In each box is a tray with a wire bottom on which the eggs will be placed. Beneath the egg tray there is a metal tray that will contain the solution that maintains the relative humidity at a constant figure. These metal pans are 10 1/2 in. x 20 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in. The room has the air circulated by means of a Westinghouse electric fan, style 516860-A, 100/120 volts, which is placed on the top shelf at the back of the incubator. The solutions used to maintain the humidities in the boxes & in the main room, which will also have a series of eggs, are: Box No. chemical *Relative Humidity main room NaCl 40% 1 NaCl 60% 2 KCl 70% 3 K2SO4 80% 4 2 pans of H2O 90% * This is the humidity before any eggs have been added. The humidity is checked by a Serdex hygrometer, model 201, & the temperature is measured by an HB laboratory Centigrade thermometer

One was infertile, the other had an embryo that appeared fully developed, but had not yet absorbed all of the yolk. The eyes were sunken in, so it appeared to have been dead for a while. April 1 The electric power was turned off from midnight until 2 A.M. Heat was supplied to the incubator by 5 200 watt bulbs connected to an auxiliary power plant. Only 800 watts were used to keep the temperature up to normal. During the Mallard E 29

The only difference from normal was the lack of the electric fan moving the air around the incubator during the 2 hour lapse of power. However, the temperature within the different humidity boxes didn't change. April 4 One chicken hatched this morning at 40% rel. humidity. The egg had gotten in by mistake with some extra small mallard eggs. April 7 Today I broke open all the remaining eggs from the original setting of 36 eggs on Feb. 29.

The eggshell floated to the top of the water and the yolk sank to the bottom. The shell was broken open and the contents poured into a bowl. The yolk was separated from the white by passing it through a sieve. The white was then beaten until stiff peaks formed. The yolk was added to the white and beaten again. Sugar was gradually added while beating continued. The mixture was poured into a baking dish and baked in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes. When done, the cake should be golden brown on top and springy to the touch. It is best served warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

The yolk was separated from the white by passing it through a sieve. The white was then beaten until stiff peaks formed. The yolk was added to the white and beaten again. Sugar was gradually added while beating continued. The mixture was poured into a baking dish and baked in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes. When done, the cake should be golden brown on top and springy to the touch. It is best served warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

A total summary is present, as well as a summary of the results from the eggs from the four separate sources. From these summaries, it can be readily seen that under these experimental conditions, dipping the ege in water is necessary to obtain any hatch at all.

Mayhew 1953 Mallard E65 Experimental March 3 Today 22 eggs, obtained from Mrs. W. W. Wilson, Davis, were set. The humidities being used this year are: 40%, 65%, 75%, + 85%. A series of eggs, to be used as a control, are being set at 75% R.H. without any dipping. In addition, each R.H. has the eggs divided into 2 groups: one group will be dipped in warm water every day, the other group will be dipped once a week. The eggs are picked up once or twice a week from Mrs. Wilson & stored in the departmental refrigerator at 41°F. The eggs are stored in the barn on the Wilson ranch at 52°F. April 9 Today all unhatched eggs from the March 10 setting were broken open and the contents examined. The results were: Egg No. R.H.

It hasn't been shutting off when it was supposed to, with the result that the temperature in the first box (#1) at 40% relative humidity rose to 41°C. Therefore, all the eggs from April 14 & May 5 at that humidity are probably dead. The temperature rose

However, 75% + 85% eggs hatched during this time, whereas no 40% eggs did, so perhaps some of the eggs survived at the higher humidities.

Therefore, these eggs will not be counted in the results. All other humidities produced hatches comparable to previous weeks, so these eggs did not receive a lethal dose apparently. Therefore, only the eggs at 40% relative humidity will be discarded from the record. May 26 Today all unhatched eggs of the April 28 setting were broken and examined. The results: Egg No. R.H.
