Bowman 1952 2. Journal 11.5 mi.NE Chama, 10,000 ft., Rio Arriba Co., San Juan mts, New Mexico Aug. 11. hummingbird (2-- noted loud noise during flight), Juncos [numerous], 2 Ambystoma sp. found under rotting logs in open area, site of old saw-mill, and 1 large food Buf. (?) in some location. The latter 3 animals were discovered by Ward + Jerry Russell. By mid-morning we proceeded northward to Chama. Here we made enquiries into means of entry into the high country of the San Juan mountains. Finally we entered the locality given at the heading to page 1. by driving into Colorado & then southward over a poor dirt road . This general area is called the meadows of the Brazos River. After a preliminary survey of the area, we made camp beside a small stream at 10,000 ft. Between 5:30 - 6:45 P.M (mountain standard time) I set out 60 Museum specials along the stream + 30-40 ft above the stream on steeply sloping, blue spruce-studded hills. Used chewed oatmeal as bait. While setting out traps saw 1 or Western Tanager, Mt Chickadees, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Juncos, and Chickarees. During the early afternoon in the area of the meadows, saw 15+ Turkey Vultures, Ravens, 1 Goshawk (sitting in a Blue Spruce in open grassland) and several Horned Larks. In one of the small streams (locally famous for the trout fishing) saw many small (2-4") speckled trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), as identified by the light edging to the pelvic + pectoral fins. The waters quite cool (below 50° F estimated), and the streams have good deeply cut banks. This area, primarily Canadian life zone, reminds one of the mountain country surrounding Lake Okanagan in British Columbia. The former is at 10,000, while the
