siding. About 5 minutes later
I saw a w In the same grove
+ 50 trees. It was very difficult to hit. 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. Some men
collecting insects brought us some baby
rabbits # 53,54,55

skin, one alcoholic, one skeleton.
