fork gorla honds. These were along the edge of a cultivated field + wec the first gorla hond wid seen in the state this trip. Just as I town we saw one Lak Sparrow + a Scott Jay (back seen well). 2 miles beyond Le Congoja we shot a Mex. Jay. This an are of rolling hills covered with oak-marganite woodland + eventually alot of Junipers. About 3 miles beyon the village we recorded Mex. James, Broad tailed Hummer, Rava, + Robin. In another mile the road cuts N + S little E + winds down into a canyon which has a house + a miller at the bottom. Here we saw some Lesser Goldpids + Ned saw a Catellus variegatus (the last was 5 miles beyond Le Congoja). The climbs took out of this canyon + continues westward. A few miles further we began to see a few pines, + 9 miles beyond Le Congoja we came to a fork in the road. About here we heard a Broad-tailed Hummer. The left fork leads westwardly across a large low meadow + up the side of a ridge. The right goes northward to a fancy house on the side of a canyon which seems to flow to the west. According to sev. fellows working around the house it belongs to some gobierno. They said we were between Cerro del Foguay + Cerro La Ardilla but closer to the former. We continued about another mile & half when the road jets out to a trail which goes up to the edge of a large baranca - which seems to run N + S. We looked around for a suitable camp site.
