1 mi. NW Sawmill Leaks, Lone Mtns, Lincoln Co., Nevada.
September 7
Wanders and George's Walkers, as well as many flycatchers. Left for Cahuilla by taking the south (= left) turn at Sheep Spa, and arrived after passing over a series of Indian canned fields. Returned to Los Angeles by way of Las Vegas.
September 12
Brian Co., 7000 ft. Kawiin Mtns, Nye Co, Nevada.
Down and I left for Angels at 7:00 am and drove to Tonopah via Bishop, stopping to see Tom Ledyard at the WMR's. We arrived at the meadow above the Brian Ranch after dark.
September 13
Walked east into Kawiin Range from Brian Ranch. Saw little bird life, but found complete skeleton of a horse, probably a Mustang. We saw a herd of mustangs on the drive in, and in the evening a group of 7 came to Brian Meadow to graze, much unnerved by our presence. We set out 100 trays along the meadow and the creek on the N. W. edge or for damage from Ranch.
I saw a "shallow complex" in dry soil about 50 yds. W. of the Ranch House, near the old canal. It was in the middle of a field of boggies with a few scattered rabbit holes about. The next morning
September 14
we caught one & by no means scarce.
