Bowman 1952 Journal. 33. Aug. 31 6 mi. S. Bernalillo, 5500 ft., Sandoval Co., N.H. [See pg. 30] Aug. 30 "Drove to Albuquerque from Santa Fe in morning and attended to matters concerning payment of repairs to 3/4 Chev. panel truck. In afternoon made camp at our present location, viz. 6 mi. S. Bernalillo Co. NH. in a Cottonwood Grove just east of Highway # 85 along the Rio Grande Valley. Set out 18 "Museum Specials" along fence line, about 20 ft. distant from an irrigation ditch. Cactus, & other desert scrub vegetation fairly dense. Observed one Kengaroo rat (?) at 6:35 P.H. (Sunset) rune below vegetation. I may have fleisbed the animal from out of its resting place . The moon is now 3/4 full. Set another 40 Museum Specials along the underneath the Cottonwood trees where close vegetation cover is non-epistoul. Carried the line along the edge of the irrigation ditch for 6 trips. Used oatmeal. Soil very light dusty & clay-like when wet. There are numerous quots & mosquitoes in the early evening. Cicadas commence to "sing" about 10 minutes after sundown & continue till almost dark. Grasshoppers are also abundant. Saw one nighthawk at dusk. Heard and saw a large bat fly around our camp after dark . W.C. Russell shot one Screech Owl in Cottonwoods. Saw 2 Road Runners just east of camp. Bird in excellent plumage & called responded well to calling. Russell claimed this bird to be a male because of the pitch as compared to another Screech Owl in the same area. Upon seeing, it turned out to be the opposite sex as claimed on the basis of voice.
