TROCHET, J. 1930 Journal 76 San Pedro River Riparian National Conservation Area ¼ mi S. of Cajon Highway 70 bridge, Cedes Co., Arizona. Elevation 420 feet. August 22 permit, then onto Cajon highway 70 south then west to (cross) its crossing of the San Pedro River. U.S. 666 between Alpine and Morenci is a wonderful road: 120 elk, 2 deer (both bucks), one cottontail; and my first Salvia gracilis, mountain patch-nosed snake, in P-T slopes, 25 miles N. Morenci, Greenlee Co. Unfortu- nately, it was DOR. When I arrived, I first walked the woodland and found many goldfinches bare, with males still singing and displaying. I then set up camp, which meant shutting my things in increments to half-mile or so S. of the bridge, where I decided to make camp. Here the woods are even then bene- fest, shielding highway noises and the distance will mean fewer people walking near my nets. The habitat here is cottonwood/willow-fringed gallery woodland bordering a stream occupying a small part of a flood plain bounded mostly by an eroded, vertical W. bank and gently sloping hills on the E., the flood plain 60-120 yards wide. For the most part this runs flows near or against the eroded W. bank, so that the bulk of the woodland is on the slightly elevated side E. of the river. The dominant tree is cottonwood, the trees are forming a closed canopy, gallery forest 45-70' tall for the most part. Willow trees are widespread, more numerous hard by the water, and crowner further S. from camp. Some are scattered tamarisk and cryptowillows, some areas grown over by climbing weeds,
