M. Boyers 1932 1/2 mi. E. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., '70 Cali. December 20, 1932 Cast a junco as it flew out of a bush on an open hillside. On the way back to camp we noticed that the weather was actually very warm and sunny, and as we drove along I saw a Calif. Ground Squirrel near it, hooting the side of the road and I secured it. About a mile further on we saw a second one, but couldn't get it as it ran down its hole with a Buckeye ball in its mouth. December 26, 1932 It rained and hailed during the ight and started snowing about eight o'clock and by ten o'clock we had from three to four inches over everything. We broke camp and after trying vainly to get chains on over sized tires, we pulled out and had no difficulty in getting to Reddy. On the way down we saw many Ground Squirrels also a "Poser Out" note and Lewis Woodpeckers and lots of Roseberry Birds in numbers. It rained off and on all day.
