29 March
Colorado River, pp. Ft. Mohave, 530 ft., Clark Co., Nevada.
The bank is about 5 ft. high. The river is
clear, fast, and apparently deep. After
establishing camp we took a nap to recover
from our all-night drive. Set up around
4 p.m.. I shot a Myiarchus cinerascens in
camp. Ned + I each set 20 traps (10 man. spe.
+10 rat traps) and had supper at 5. Tried
to hunt bats, but no bats; heard some later.
Also tried to run down a Bubo virginianus,
without success. Then came and wrote
notes. Very cold this evening.
