Expeditions near Rosario, Mexico & Co. Arizona
May 28 being called been given to a request to collect goldfinches on the Verde
River where it runs through the reservation. But all cooperation T
Angers was suspended because the tribe was having better problems
with state and federal authorities over gambling operations on the reserva-
tion.
I stopped again along the Salt River SW of Phoenix, this time between
115th and 121st avenues. There is still a lot of water in the river, much
of it standing now. Sore no way to set up nets. I saw and in search
for lesser goldfinches in 45 minutes beginning at 16:30. I also saw
an unidentifiable unflyable ? bird near 115th avenue. We sat &
looked at each other for about ten minutes before she got up and slowly
walked away.
I continued west on I-10 to I-210 to I-5 to California Hwy 99 &
came to Sacramento in time for my daughter's birthday party.
Gray Ranch, 30 miles S. of Amaras, Hidalgo Co., New Mexico
June 6-7 left home June 4 at 23:00 and travelled via California Hwy 99 to
Interstate 5 to Interstate 210 to Interstate 10 to Pomona College. I
stopped early in the morning of June 5 to see about the status of my request
to work in Cobal Canyon, San Gabriel Mountains, a request being reviewed
by Dr. William Wiltz. He was not in. Then I went to Chaffey College in
Rowland Acres to visit Jim & Janie Harris, but this was unsuccessful as he
too was not there. I then drove to Day Canyon to see how many goldfinches
were now there. The trend of increasing number of finches over the last
three visits continued with the visit - there were many more lesser gold-
finches June 5. I then headed E on Interstate 10 and drove through the
night to the Gray Ranch, when I had an appointment to meet Dr. Jeff Bell,
