One House Wren and an fin. Junco were very tame
while skinning. Both birds entered the log huts
in which we were working. The junco remained
around camp continually; I was fed rice + pieces
of bread, none of which it accepted. The bird was
seen to take exceedingly small pieces of food.
Chuckaree, Chipmunk, + Golden-mouthed Ground
Squirrel were noted around camp. In the late
afternoon captured 2 garter snakes along grassy-
rocky borders to ste Tenes Cr. Dogwood, Gooseberry,
Purple-flowering Raspberry, Snowberry, + Sambucus are common along edge
of stream. Stuart Handy captured 4 Horned lizards
about 200 ft. up from N. edge of Tenes Cr., below Yellow
Rhinastataks. During the early evening Peromyscus
maniculatus were caught in "Museum Specials" set
inside log shelter. Heavy rainfall during night of
Aug. 28. On the morning of Aug. 29, S.O.B. reported

Left our Tenes Cr. Camp at 10:00 A.M. + proceeded to
Santa Fe via Bland. Passed by type locality for Stebbins +
Renier race of Plethodon neomexicanus -- [boulder here]

walled canyon + 6+ White-throated Swifts flying by
at a great speed. Spent the remainder of the day in
Santa Fe area --- opening day of the grand fiesta.
