Journal 66 1963 2 & Borell Ojo Saguna, Chihuahua, Mexico. Apr 25 Still cool & cloudy. 56° at 7 am. Made a short trip among the Alamos and the Mesquites then froze camp and drove (with Trailer) to Bird notes Hermits Thrush - 1 collected (females) Cowbird - 4? 1 collected. Were common in Chihuahua on Apr 2. These are the first seen here. No other changes in bird population over yesterday. Spring is well advanced but summer drought is not yet here Mesquites and Catclaws are now in flower, and Mesquite is fairly well in leaf and some plants have new shoot 6 to 8 inches long. Catclaw is about 1/2 in leaf. Saccio grass in the moist sites now has considerable green. The country is dry - there have been only a few drops of rain since we came on Feb. 27. It is with regret that we leave our camping spot.
