LIDICKER 1959 saw the north of the canyon & got 1 Barings, 1 Reuthro, 1 Signatum, 1 Perognathus flavus, & 2 D. ordii. Had more heavy rain in early evening. Caught 3 Burps after dark, one in tent, & Ward caught a Scaphiopus. Set out 37 traps in greeny or brushy area down 1/2 mi down canyon. This included 4 rat traps set for Signatum in fresh-looking runs. Relented 46 traps in greeny oak choke canop, & relented 5 rat traps around camp for lifers. Also got a large T Citellus norvegicus in steel trap set along draw. Was small amt. of rain during night. July 2 Had only 1 Signatum remaining - traps down canyon, nothing - traps in oak-grass. Ranzofer sets & had no goofers; picked up 2 of the 4 sets & make a new set. Apparently the rain had stimulated the goofers around camp & nearer to the canyons to work on their damours so there was clot of fresh goofier brands around camp. Ward made 8 sets & caught 7 goofies in short order. He also got 3 Signatum in his traps down the canyon. I caught a goofie - my new set. When we were eating breakfast a Yellowthroat was singing near camp & Ward finally shot it. Caught a Thamnophilus along the edge of the canyon while eating breakfast. Skinned animals. About 1430 Student & Lange arrived back in camp from their 2 day jaunt into Lidicker City. Set another steel trap along the levee at the north
