LIDICKER 1959 journal (July 20 cont.) look around the base of the rocks & lower down mangosita. On top of the mt. is a fairly level area with scald oak & mangositas. There are quite a few finas high up on the slopes. Saw Acorn Woodpecker, Steller's Jay & H. Pigeon & a small worn which might have been a Barred but differentely had no tufting tips to the tail, but fine barring on the ventral side of the tail & a good distinct eye stripe; was in scald oak. At the base of the rim rocks I could look out & see a large fraction of Arizonacaliente. I sketched a map as follows: Sierra del Laurel x - another peak (2nd highest than jagging) rrr Carrizal de la Jague (looks like 3-4 mi. away) all low country Cg. (Leverance?) (del Rio?) road to Crest & gate stream ridge? middle camp road to Cargajo N checked 2 rat traps set for Sigurdson & much grass while returning from trophy in AM. Had caught nothing. After dinner set 2 new carnivore traps below camp - 1 a no. 2 steel at base of tree in small side canyon to the prec we are camped in, & the other (a #1 jump trap) at base of tree in open valley. Used Paomopus difficilis as bait. Anticipated 7 P. difficilis from morning catch which was to be thrown away. All were adults.
