After a couple hours of walking and looking, shot a Dark Rail from a flock in the marsh by the cabin. It is now about 2 P.M. - our plans are to hunt hawks for a while, then clean up and go home. Later: Spent a little over an hour looking for lizards - they had disappeared since this morning. Saw only 2, one of which I captured. Found a Desert Tortoise in a draw leading into the wash which is in front of the cabin. This was about 2:30 P.M. Took a number of color pictures of flowers.
