March 9, 1927 helped pack to go down on the 10. went with Van to get blackbirds eggs. March 10, 1927 We left Camp Los Comas miles for our lower Camp which is in the pine & scrub oaks. We arrived at San Jose del Bacare at about 4:30 in the afternoon March 11, 1927 I went and set some traps but never found anything that looked very prosperous. I saw no signs of big mammals any where March 12, 1927 look at trap got nothing. Van Roem shot his .32-20 in a large pine about one mile west of Camp along toward evening I took my gun and went to where I had seen a squirrel nest the day before. I sat down on a rock in a small ditch near nest and waited. Had been their only a short time when I saw some branches in a small fruit tree bending thought it was birds at first but after while I saw my squirrel out on end of limb.
