\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
