I had to squeeze him for about 3-4 minutes. Shot a hummer but was unable to get it out of the tree. (tree kind?) feeds hummers. The first net was empty & the second had only one hummer. (Mercedes One Diamond's catalog) We saw some sort of water bird (almost duck size) along the San Carlos River. Couldn't get it. Still no rain today, only fog, but lots of it. On way back in rubber tree grove shot #51. He was about 30 feet up in tree. About dusk there seems to be more activity than in the morning. Finally just after sun set we saw fates (night hawks) feeding on the road. Their red eye shine helped me to see them. Shot only one. It was good not to be drenched today from the rain. (up to knees in crab try to get #77 block all the way- tomorrow may have sun. Some blue sky is showing. Insects as usual are plentyful.
