Brooke 1934 July 1 continued In the late afternoon I took the gun and attempted to get some birds. I succeeded in getting one young bluebird and a linnet. I saw a large number of linnets fly from one shrub. A number of robins were in the cottonwoods. I shot at one and it glided down towards the opposite bank of river but I was not able to determine its final status. Later I saw a large flock of Magpies but I was unable to get close enough to them for an effective shot. A young blue heron went up and down the stream bed occasionally. A sage Phoebe was seen on a bush, it was shot by Palmer. I found one Uta Stansburiana and two Scolopax occidentalis near the camp site. The latter sought safety in climbing up the trunk of a cottonwood. I set out fifteen traps some in rock sand between Astralagus and Chrysanthemums and some in sand near the stream.
