mp5017 434 Mar. 8, 1934. down in any of the canyons I have yet observed. Cattle range in Slide and Horse Spring west of the fence at the spring. West of this fence is all year range. Fescue seed is plentiful down in the region of the springs. Alfalfa is showing green all over the winter range. Some grass is green also. The long ridges just south of Slide canyon west of Jump up divide, are about the longest Coffania stretchers in this part of the winter range. They have very little jumper and are in general open for miles. Here the browsing damage has been extreme. The recovery is very slow. Most of the Coffania shoot are eaten to stubble 1" long. This was decidedly the most heavily utilized area did seem to date. Four jackrabbits seen today. A Marsh Hawk was frightened from a jackrabbit carcass. This is the first instance I know of where this hawk has been known to eat carrion. The carcass was perhaps 3 days old. No marks upon it gave any clue to its death. The hawk had just torn into the shoulder region.
