Christway, Jim. 1960 Journal 8 9 April 1/2 mi. N. (dawn canyon) Paijun Wells, #3750 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. After a stop in Joshua Tree to sleep we came here just after dark. The broad flat N of us - sloping up to Square Tank - is carpeted by white flowers. (The Yucca glauca near the entrance of the Monument and of Joshua Tree are in the large green pod stage - indeed some of those on the area N of us here are like it) 10 April Photographed about the lower part of the canyon and out on the fan. Found a Linnar nest in a cholla in the canyon bottom - four downy young perhaps three to five days of age and one unhatched egg. Mockingbirds and Thrashers are abundant here. Jim and I worked down the canyon and a mile out onto the fan after lizards. Costa Hummingbird in desert willow. The willows here have just a few green leaves. The desert is carpeted with annuals giving the area a hager appearance.
