Brooke 1934 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.
