LIDICKER 1959 (July 22 cont.) Thought was Rock Wren. After dinner I added fruit to my no.4 trap & also to my other no.2 trap. Set out 15 mins. Spec. in rocky cany canyon well above camp in flows which were not open with small rocks there like what I have mostly been setting up so now. Several light showers in late afternoon & in evening. At dusk waited for bats on the slope & of camp & in the canyon bottom. Saw none. Did see quite a few myotis velifer & slott ) flying around among the oaks on the slope W of camp. There was a moderate cast. 2 wind blowing during this time. Heard Canyon Wren singing from one of rim rocks where traps are set. The Petunia I was talking to this afternoon said that the area in which we as camped & particularly the valley below camp is called "Tamascelas". He couldn't write or read so he couldn't check my transliteration. After dusk I autopsied the P. diffilis which were to be thrown away.
