Banks 1960 Journal 37. Oct.29 Enidela Cenalvo, Baja Calif., Mexico - Went up the main arroyo this morning, taking the right branch near the top where Bob found water & a trail. This part of the canyon is very steep and rocky. For about 50 yds. there is a small running stream, with several puddles of a couple square feet each, and a couple inches deep. [See Gipper's notes also for description]. There is algae in many of the puddles. I saw several tadpoles and 1 newly metamorphosed frog. In this area Ground Lizards were abundant, and I & Tee took 2 hummingbirds & a Lincoln Sparrow. Formica Ctenosaurus carrying a large, still living, dragon-fly. In the evening set traps on the hill immediately N of camp, that is, along the bluff facing the gulf. At about 6:30 started trapping in camp, at our food shelf, for Lomysens. Last night we got ten here; so far tonight (9:30 now) we have 6 more. Today was very windy all day, rather cloudy early. Tonight is clear as can be, as all nights here have been. Oct.30 Got up at 4:30, spent about 1 1/2 hr. before daylight looking for owls, Vo luck. Shot a feral house cat. While checking traps, saw a Great Blue Heron fly past the mouth of the arroyo. Had 1 Peroognathus, 5 Lomysens. Dick Adcock came forms at 7:30, earlier than me had figured. We left the island about 9am; arrived in La Paz well before 3pm. Spent the rest of the day getting our gear squared away for the return.
