M. Boyers 1932 18 mi. E. Bakersfield, entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Forest, Kern Co., Calif. December 21, 1932 We finally reached Bakersfield via Tulare (where we had lunch and stocked groceries). In Bakersfield we went for mail and got a few supplies then loaded out the Kernville road and as camped tonight about a hundred yards south of the Kern river at the mouth of the Kern Canyon. I set out about 25-30 traps in the flat ground and down a creek wash. It rained hard a couple of times in the process of getting a meal and now has stopped again. It is not very cold. December 22, 1932 While out getting traps and during breakfast, the birds seen and heard were: Great Blue Heron, flying east up the Kern; Rock Birds, out on the flat and on the creek banks; White-crowned Sparrows, in the brush lined dry washes; Finches, on the river bank; Ruby-crowned Kinglet along cottonwoods river edge; Horned Larks, out on the flat weed covered or open land; and finally a Red-tailed Hawk as we left and entered
