C. Caveler 1967 journal 32 (cont) Villa Mills 5:1 miss Jurode la muerte, castag... in a tree & August 26 was with another was eating purple berries. # 188 was feeding hopping on the ground. The # 189 was feeding from a white flower which grows close to the ground. The # 190 was about to land on a branch when I shot him. Used a half load because I was afraid wouldn't hit him. Other than that I have been using 22's on everything. The birds are very tame here. I think I will have no problem with 22 shells. I still have a couple of half loads. In a Orrell just I shot # 191 The # 182 # 186 were not eaten or covered with ants or insects as they were else where. The rain began about 1:30 and at 4:00 when I wanted to set traps it was a heavy downpour which stopped about 7:30 PM It is very very cold here. # Ray Mc Diarmid brought us some birds from & net I helped him & Dr. Peters Raven put up for bats. # 192 # 193 No mosquitoes or tiny insects. I hunted in the dense areas but they were more quiet than the slightly open areas. Bird greens & feell little puddles.
