1941 Desert Trip On the rolling hills before we entered the canyon there were many Horned Larks. At a bridge over a stream And. Warblers, Bluebird Phoebes, Cliff Swallows, Linnets. Spanish Warties on the wires and Meadowlarks singing. In the canyon, on the steep slopes across the river from the roadway were carpets of blue lupine - At one stop we saw Rock Wrens, Bullock Orioles, W. Kingbirds (which dropped to the surface of the water - to pick up insects ?), Chipping Sparrow, W. Swatcatchers, Titlions, Siskins, W. Blue Brids, Turkey Buzzard, Spotted Towhee and Canyon Wren were heard. Later we heard the Littercut Warbler, saw Calif. Jay, Robin, Virgin Wren, Brown Towhee, Flicker . At Bodfish we drove through a grassy meadow. At Weldon we began to see Ravens - the size of Turkey Buzzard, wedge- shaped tails - Several together. We lunched in a little pocket in the hills where tin desert peach was in bloom. Several robins flew in. Gambel Sparrows were singing - Redwings, Meadowlarks, a pair of Mallards seen- Between there and Walker Pass - We stopped near a stream where I saw Brush Tits that and white-puffed underneath (Lead-colored?) - I walked among the Joshua trees on the eastern slope but found nothing. After we turned north at the east end of the pass, we saw more ravens - At Little Lake: 2 Cinnamon Teal (pr.?), 8-10 Buffleheads (2003 juveniles).
