W. Premer 1950 Journal 12 Mar. Texas: Hudspeth Co. vicinity Eagle Mts. Spent most of morning looking for birds in area 10 mi. SW Eagle Peak. This is place where camped last night. At dusk last night shot Holbrookia which ran from under car in camp. Probably car disturbed it while buried. Area a wash but well covered by creosote and a variety of dormant highly thorny shrubs, mostly small but some few almost tree-sized. Soil mostly clean washed i.e., no grass or other low- cover. Birds not common. Took one green- tailed towhee. "Black-chinned" desert sparrow commonest by far. Also present was pyrrhuloxia. Overcast all morning with wind during latter part. About noon moved to spot in narrow wash with large trees and dense lower brush 10 mi. W Eagle Peak. Here saw several pyrrhuloxia, Harris' hawk, desert sparrow, mourning doves, a ruby-crowned kinglet, and took a sage thrasher. After about an hour drove to spot at western base of Eagle Mts., 20 mi SE Sierra Blanca. Near here took a small Phrynosoma in roadway in mid- afternoon. 13 Mar. Night windy, cold and clear. In morning hunted about fans at base of Eagle Mts. Fans covered by yucca and ocotilla, various cacti and scattered thorny shrubs, none of which large.
