Mayhew 1959 Journal 52. May 16 Mojave Desert, San Bernardino Co., Calif. on our way to the San Bernardino Mts., we saw a pair of Gambel Quail with 6 chicks. They were able to fly a short distance, even though they seemed quite small. We drove up Cushionberry Grade, past Baldwin Lake, through Big Bear City, & turned left on the road to Morridge. We continued on this road until the pavement ended, then turned right on Balsam Blvd. This road (dirt) took us down into the Santa Ana River canyon, through 7 Oaks, to Barton Flats. We reached South Fork camp- ground at 1850, and set up camp, as well as set out the mammal traps. Animals that had been seen along the road between Stoddard Valley & Barton Flats were: Gambel quail House sparrow Violet-green swallow Oregon junco Stella's jay Robin Sciurus griseus Cliff swallow Western wood pewee Shrike Kingbird Citellus (Merriam) Sceloporus magister I forgot to bring the max.-min. thermometer along, so we don't know how cold it was tonight. However, at 2205, it was 8°C.
