44 traps at dusk (including 1 Newton set
along arroyo wall). Saw no lizards. Ned & Dave
head Purr-wills. Had snack & then caught up

Chollas, creosote bush, Acacia, etc. Started
staying about 2300. Ned on his trap line after
dusk & led 3 Parompeus.
8/12
Catch: Parompeus eremius - 2 (1 discarded)
P. mainulatus - 1
Newton - 1 (along rock wall of arroyo)
Paragrythus velosini - 4
Oryzomyx torridus - 1
After a quick breakfast, Dave & I explored up the
rock to the E farther for a near complete. We then
moved camp to ~ 3 mi. E of Topozada; elevation
estimated at 7200 ft. This camp is on the north
side of the main peak of this range of hills, almost
directly N of San Pedro de Colores. There is another major
peak to the N of us which is probably Cerro Altamira.
We are on the W side of the saddle between these 2 peaks.
There are lots of old mine shafts along the base of
the peak to the south. I saw. Set up camp & then
equipped catch. Ned & shot a jav. Verdin at lower
camp. Birds seen around new camp include Raven,
Ca fin Wren, Curve billed Thrasher & Say's Phoebe.
