Brode 1934 July5 cont. Jacket. The day after the "Fourth" was a hard day for many of the Homo sapiens of that town judging from the looks on their faces. On the return trip we stopped at a farm and set out traps around a pond. There were many blackbirds about the pond including some "redwings", a number of Meadowlarks, some Maryland yellow-throats and several breedwork marsh wrens. On return to camp I went over to the base of the hill on the north again and shot a lazula bunting and a swallow. The swallows seem to be travelling up the "funnel" of the gorge and came pretty low over the hill. I did not retrieve the swallow that evening. I set traps near the wood rat and kangaroo rat workings. Skinned and fixed a woodrat after dayzen. July6 Up at 415. Went to the hill visited last night. Found the swallow.
