Bowman 1952 Journal Sept. 14. 1 mi S Bernardo, 5103 ft., Socorro Co, New Mexico. flying around buildings in comp. Bt. (sp? ) appeared about 15 min. after sundown . Strong SE wind blowing this evening . Saw a flock of 17 terns(?) flying southward along river, "bucking" this head wind. For this reason, I am not certain these birds were not nighthawks. It was too dark & birds were too high up. Nighthawks were flying very close to the ground, apparently because of the strong winds. One Cooper Hawk seen overhead at dusk as well as a flock of small ducks (9), possibly Teal. After dark Stuart Lordy and I captured approx 7 Rena (2 sp.) in mud-hole (photo 4/14) using flashlight, shin-boots (for mud). Boot-eye shine from both species. Saw a 3 ft long garter snake in the water. Many small jumping fish (sp?) in some water (mud) hole. Slight eye-shine from snake. Because of wind, no owl calling tonight. Left myself of 37 Museum Species col. Anxious to catch Zapus... The following bird temp. were obtained this morning: Species Temp.
