Bouman 1952 journal 21. Aug. 22 3 mi. SW Tres Piedras, 9000 ft., Rio Arriba Co., N. Mex. It is a puzzling thing to know what the original vegetation of this area was like. They are at present logging yellow pine, so that the stands are open, somewhat like a park. The oaks are small & scrubby. I found underneath pines, also in aspen grove. Young pines are found coming up under Aspen! Fir are virtually absent, although Stuart G. Landry report finding one nearby. The following are some birds & mammals reported by other members & not as yet seen by me: Golden- mantled ground squirrel, Chipping Sparrow, badger digging, House Wren, Red-tailed Hawk, Spotted Towhee, Black-headed Grosbeak. Meet Flycatcher, I remained in camp this evening, while others went after, porcupine, Owls & bats.
