Bowman 1952. Journal 7. Aug. 13 11.5 mi. N.E Chama, 10,000 ft., Rio Arriba Co., San Juan Mts., New Mexico Pickup of 26 traps yielded 1 clethrionomys. No rain last night, although a few traps sprung. From 7:30 - 11:00 A.M. (MST) observed the following animals: Crossbills, mountain chickadee, Canada Jay, Wood Pewee, Williamson's Sapsucker(1), Pine Grosbeak (3), Audubon Warbler (1), Sparrow Hawk (2), Red-tailed Hawk (2), Red Shafted Flicker (2), Robin (8) - adm. Ruby-crowned Knight White-crowned Sparrows(3), Pine Siskin(3), Crow, Turkey Vulture(1), 1 Chipmunks seen at least 10 ft. up in spruce tree. Coylete (skull only picked up in stream); many pocket gopher diggings in meadowa. Made 4 sets of gopher traps (6 traps) in open fields directly north of camp. Soil very deep, rich, block + moist with plenty of humus - south exposure. Robins were seen in abundance in protected meadow 1 mile N of camp alongside stream. Several immatures seen heard. Two unidentified swallows seen flying high over stream at state border (Colo. - N.M.). Jerry C. Russell shot one Violet-green swallow so it is possible that the two birds I saw were of this same species. The two Red-tailed Hawks seen north of camp, acted in rather unusual fashion. One bird landed on the grassy slopes & beside stream & was seen to hop around on the ground half hidden by the long grass. It uttered the characteristic long hissing note. At state border observed the only willow seen in the area. Since it was at the stream bottom, it was a hundred or more feet lower in elevation than most of the surrounding land. Western Wood Pewees were seen in large numbers feeding at edge of poor spruce-fir woodland, perching on dead trees only.
