Oct. 28 E side Isla Cerralvo, Baja Calif., Mexico
of a high point to the N, but not very far's a peak
extends up pretty high. Directly opposite our
arroyo there is a similar one. It too appears to be
well vegetated, with many side arroyos. In all
regards it does not seem to be much different from
ours, except it is perhaps more extensive, and the
ridge may be more accessible. Bib reached
the ridge independently a few hours before I did,
by another route. We both estimated the
elevation on the ridge, directly behind our
arroyo, to be 1500 ft., but that's only a guess.
On my return to camp, took a dip in the ocean, &
after supper put up the tombee. Set a mouse trap
near our food supply, & put one mouse caught
there. Until the time of this writing, have caught
7 mice in that trap (Peromyscus, q.v.) Set 3 other
traps near camp, but that's all I have out tonight.
Today was warm, not very muggy. Birds:
Raven Sparrow Hawk
Turkey Vulture Red Tailed Hawk
Brown Pelican Black Throated Sparrow
Snowy Egret (one flew past; seen from high point dog shack)
Woodruffbird Ash-Throated Flycatcher
Vermi Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Ground Dove White Winged Dove
Loggerhead Shrike Osprey
Snowy Egret
