July 2 cont.
lighting on the ground on the
hillside and hoping a long time
for a while or some would vary
the line of streaming by coming
closer to the river. I shot
one of these. Others flew over
head and scolded me for
the deed. Three pairs of swallows
did much flying about in the
mosquito laden air.
Later in the evening a few
bats flew over the campsite.
July 3 A.M Went out with gun but missed most
of my shots. Hit young robin but
could not find it after it volplaned
into the brush. Got a green backed
gold finch. I saw robins, doves,
a flicker, a number of linnets
and a jack rabbit.
Very windy today- some dust;
blew fly from over work tent
and blew down the "chiefs" tent. I worked
up two birds and the almost too ripe
Peromyscus [illegible].
In the evening I crossed over to the
south side of the river and set out
40 traps. I saw some ferox that looked
large enough to be racoon.
