July 30 - I camped last night in Dove Rock, Arizona, on the trail to Dog August 12 Canyon, about 25 minutes from here. (That's the closest legal camping, on BLM land.) I arrived here at 06:45. I walked around Rattlesnake Springs for a couple hours calling on Mrs. Burton. At 09:00, I obtained permission from Peggy Burton to both camp on the ranch and to collect birds. By 10:00 I had my tents up and 2 nets deployed.
