Bader 1958 Journal Smigler Ranch, soutt, 1/2 mil Glunch River Clark Co, Nevada Apr. 1 ranned Kiylets and Verdis also in a patch of mosquito at the desert edge. Down in the flush- plain shot a rabbit, which was infected with slow-fly type cysts, and a large "maggot" which I preserved. Saw Vermillion Flycatcher doing their courtship butterfly flight, and Ash-throated Flycatchers. Shot a Lucy Wabber out of a large willow, and then a Crisal Thrasher from a small tree in arrow-weed. Phainopepla's were abundant, and some Cedar Waxwings around. There were a lot of Andalus Wankles going past. While waiting for Ned to get back from hunting 2 bid the 2 mile, when he returned we moved camp back into the trees to get out of the wind - and it began to rain! All afternoon it sprinkled off and on, just enough to keep us from getting any- thing much done. I finished up the rabbit and Ned did his Wrightbank, and after supper we moved to the "Bat House," down the road a long ways. Here it was dry, at least, and we did some skins, working till about 9 P.M. Just before dark in the tree camp at Smigler Ned set 20 rat traps along a ditch, and I set 20 mus. sp. through the mosquito. There are a lot of holes all through this area, incl. badger holes. Set 4 rat traps in the Bat House, where there are no bats but lots of rat sign. (Much bat droppings.)
