LIDICKER 1958 (July 9 cont.) Paromyscus - 1 "timber" like hill - Dipodomys ornatus - 1 Paromyscus - 1 After skinning, Naomi + I explored a large number of abandoned mine shafts in the area including some very large ones on the slopes quite high above San Pedro. From this vantage point you get the impression that the highest peak in the area isn't too much higher. We saw only 2 Coryphorhinus townsendii + collected one of these. Birds noted: Flicker, Atk. Goldfinch, Prairie Falcon, Scrub Dove (PM), Wkt. w. Dove (PM) + resident small dove (WL). We reset the stakes + rat traps on "timber" hill + set 49 more traps there, we also made 3 wood set sets. Then we set 26 traps in a beavertail + rabine thicket N of camp + 29 mus. spec. + [illegible] on the dry slopes below camp. We were hoping to get some more D. ornatus. In addition we had 3 Newton's sets in the more vegetated bottom of the gully + we reset the 1 rat trap behind Camp. Total traps = 115. Saw a few bats in evening but wasn't able to get any. July 10 Catch: below camp - dry slopes - Reithrodontomys - 1
