(Jun 27, cont.) with scattered small shrubs + a few small trees. One can see way off to SE & it gets lower in that direction; meriamii could conceivably be here. At 7.5 mi. S La R. yuccas become com., but are still a few junipers. Saw 1 Rd-runner here. At 12 mi. S La R. - junipers scattered (not prominent), spectabilis mounds scattered all along. At 19.7 mi. S, meriamii - looking habitat starts; at 21 mi. S - 1 Lupus californicus; at 25 mi. S road starts leaving good meriamii looking habitat - grassy plain again (this is about 4.5 mi. N La Zorca). Just S of La Zorca saw another Swainson's Hawk + meriamii habitat seems to begin again; off to W seems to be quite a bit of grass. At 5.4 mi. N Casco the plains begin again & it is now meriamii habitat. At 2.7 mi. N Casco Larrea comes into the grassy plain & then disappears again less than a mile further. Just S of Casco there is ocotillo, mesquite, cactus + quite a bit of grass - meriamii is probably present; are also spectabilis mounds. About 2 mi. S Casco Larrea comes in again for short distance. A little further it gets very hilly. At 6.8 mi. S Casco you seem to be at the highest point in these hills & can see long ways to S - whole area could be meriamii habitat - Teguines present,
