M. Boyers 1932 \n1/2 mi. E. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., 67 Calif. December 19, 1932 boulders in the stream bed and projecting from the sides and covered with moss and snow. Bot holes were worn in the rock in the stream bed and these holes were about 2 1/2 ft in diameters and first foot deep. Brown Towhees, Spotted Towhees, Ruby crowned Knights, Plain titmice occurred here. Later going back to the car I shot another Whin-tit and a second that was with it. In fact they seem to always be found in pairs. At four P.M. we went back and our hunted brush rabbits while I set traps for Pugnathus and Dipodomys on open grass covered hillside, bordered by Manzanita and Madrone. I saw one Cotton tail rabbit and six more Band-tailed Pigeons. It rained some this afternoon and is fairly clear and warmer tonight. In parentheses, before I forget it completely, I want to record the fact that the first thing we heard on arriving 3 mi W. of Miramonte, 2900 ft., was two Cal. Thrushes singing. Neither of us was able to get a specimen or even hear or see
