The main highway is 7 mi. from San Jose de Saca. We went 5 to Aguesclia where we went to the post office, had lunch, & did some stuffing. Then we headed W toward Calvillo. 8 mi. from Calvillo we thought we saw a group of Red- yagers Cantreds, 1 mi. further we saw a Raven & a Brown Troster, 3 mi. further a Slurker. About 3 mi. from Calvillo we saw a Vermillion Flycatcher, a flock of about 20 Barn Swallows & a Mockingbird. 1/2 mi. further we saw Bristle R. Grackles & Dove Doves, just over 1 mi. from Calvillo we saw another Vermillion Flycatcher. We crossed the arroyo to the NW of Calvillo & looked on a dirt road to the NW (W of the rd. to La Labor). About 2 mi. down this road we saw a Curve billed Thrush, & 3 mi. further a Songbird. We camped about 6 mi. down this road (4 1/2 mi. NW Calvillo). We saw another Songbird, around camp & I got an cd. Raven. We set out traps at dusk. I set out over 26 traps in lush areas including 2 Neotoma
