water and found a wealth of invertebrate
life: Stone Grouper, Shrimp, Barnacle, Jemmy,
Lempets, mussels, clams, Dos pods,
Purple Shore Crab, a sea palm growth,
seaweed, and a beautiful pea green
Sea Anemone. We left the ocean and
returned to the cliff. A Meadowlark
flew about to the pond and fed in
it's mouth. It distracted our attention
from the nest, I assume, by uttering
its song, then an alarm note, then flying
wildly about the grassy cliff. We searched
for its nest but were unable to find it.
We returned to our traps but found no
gophers. One of the traps had been covered
over with dirt, but was unspoiling. Mrs.
C. Engelhardt, the ranger's wife, donated a
Pocket Gopher to our collection, which
I put up. The gopher in front of our
camps were also caught, alive, so we are
keeping him, alive.
