St. Fork Mt. 4 mi N Mad River Rock, E 3100, Trinity Co., Colo.
road connecting Riley's place with the county
road along the Mad River made a good trail
to hunt along. The first 250 yards is through
Black Oak cover where the hairy woodpeckers
are most frequently observed. Then the road
runs through a dense stand of 12 inch DBH
Douglas Fir poles for about 150 yards. In this
timber the Pileolatus woodpecker, Kinglets, Chickadees,
Nut-hatches, and Creepers are working. The next
200 yards of road separate the timber from
the marganetta brush. Along this edge
the Gray tree squirrel, chipmunks, Skells, Jays,
Quail, Robins, [illegible], Junkos and Henkleys
are observed. The last 200 yards of road
on down to the river is out through the
open short grass glade and only the
Junkos were observed here.
The weather today was cloudy but clearing
with frost in the morning.

Ward and I left camp at 8AM headed for
the ridge on South Fork Mountain. The
morning was cold with a light freeze.
At 3900 feet we removed a 22 lb. male
Bob-cat from one of Wards trap sets. The
set was made along the trail in dense
Douglas Fir. At 4000 feet in the middle
of an open glade we found a bope spring
