"TRECOST, J. 1992 Journal Big Bend Ranch State Natural Area, 20 miles E of Presidio, Presidio Co., Texas June 10-14 Jimmy Carter being "attacked" by "killer rabbits." I suddenly had a lot (coit) more sympathy for him. Having jumped out to road of my car to pursue racing when the stalking in the bushes was clearly serving my way. I again went on a busy road hunt after dark, and listened to the Chicago Bulls win another NBA title. I returned my order to check ice today and learned my temperature estimate this visit have been low by about 10°F. Western June 12 was still hot; Tampa 75°/115-89°. Light E. surface range ~5 mps, picking up to success to 10 mps & hot feeling. A few clouds today. On June 13 I overslept a bit, not opening my nets until 07:10. I caught six goldfinches today, 4♀ and 2♂s. But a check of my catalogue showed I used adult ♂S. I tried recording & shooting, but to success. Thus my next take of Carduelis today was poor. The indigo hunting is gone. The weather June 13 was more humid & still. Rose hot (coit doesn't seem the wind to associate with fine weather here). There was a very light dew at dawn. An intermittent E. breeze blew most of the morning, becoming more sustained & out of S. at about 15:00. This was shortly followed by the appearance of thunderclouds to the E., which briefly shadowed Ujito Adentus but not camp at Las Cuevas. The temperature range was about 75°/105°=98°F. On June 14, I worked nets until noon, again unsuccessfully trying the tape recorder shotgun approach as well. I netted 14 lesser goldfinches, but no adult males. I put up three goldfinches to complete my sample. I sawes also noted that the indigo hunting is not gone - I relocated it at Ujito Adentus Friday. I left Big Bend Ranch at 16:10, heading for Davis Mountains State Park. The weather June 14 was really a carbon copy of yesterday's, my notes too fine to left.
