Baha 1958 Journal Snyder Ranch, 500 ft. W of the W Colorado River, Clark G., Nevada Apr. 2 Tried this morning to get back to our camp in the trees, but got stuck in the mud. Walked in and picked up our traps, all empty. Put the birds we had left over from yesterday. Just before noon Mr. Snyder came by. In answer to several questions we found the following: No deer in area; there are White-winged Doves, but it is early for them; nothing that fits description of a cardinal; there is a hot cave nearby, and a lake (which we will try to get to); he has seen "white owls" occasionally, and there are long owls and screech owls; occasionally in the winter he has seen very small owls. In the afternoon walked for about an hour on the desert looking for lizards - not a sign of a reptile. There were a zillion grasshoppers and lots of Painted Lady Butter- flies, and many Audubon Warblers. Shot a Rock Wren at the top of a wide wash. While up in the desert I could hear amphibians calling in the willows. Finally found the place on the map as intermittent water, a shallow slough with Tamarisk growing in it. Lots of frogs (Spadefoot, I guess) but I couldn't get any. Saw some doves, and several Snipes. Ned was downstream a little where the water forms a small pond and got 2 Hyla regilla. About 5 P.M. we unstuck car and moved camp.
