Journal Day Canyon San Gabriel Mountains 2 miles E & 3 miles N of Chaffey College of Rancho Cucamonga, the Bernardino Nat'l Forest, San Bernardino Co., Calif. Elev. 2800 ft. June 25-28 Austin met to set ups by the eucalypts. I caught seven goldfinches today, (crit) all before 10:30. Because of insecurity about my vehicle & belongings, I am not putting up specimens here, but I will wait until I get back home. Weather June 25 was pleasant in the morning, I sighted freezers down Canyon early giving way to light W. winds by 9 a.m. until 10:30 then increasing steadily to 10-20 mph by noon and continuing the rest of the day. There were 2 or few clouds over the San Gabriels, and close to two ones over the San Bernardino Mtn. in mid & late afternoon. Temp. range about 60°-85°-75°F. On June 27, I ran the same route as the previous day, except that two of my sets were on the bajada below the canyon mouth, and two remained in lower Day Canyon proper. I should have left all the nets in the Canyon, since all ten birds taken today were from the Canyon, in which case I might have caught enough birds to complete a point sample. These birds caught today make 17, all kept alive for data recording & specimen preparation. Weather June 27 was just about identical to yesterday, no difference, really, but I caught sixes, except perhaps a bit fewer clouds noted. On June 28, I caught the last 3 goldfinches by 06:20. I never even opened the bajada nets this morning. I packed up my mist nets & poles and loaded them back to the car, repacked my vehicle and was ready for the drive home by 08:30. Weather the morning of June 28 was cool, cloudless & still. The air was actually a bit dampy. Temps. 60-70°F. Species List Day Canyon June 25-28: Aves (Birds): California Ica Furg. Reptiles: Sceloporus occidentalis Cnemidophorus sp.
