July 8 cont'd.
including 2 Dipodomys microps
levis and 9 Dipodomys merriami
The latter were found well out from
the river and in rather hard
soil with a little sand. There was
one Perognathus longimembris panamian
tinus and one Perognathus that
seemed somewhat to favor P parvus.
I noted a pair of barn swallows.
I discovered the nest in a canal
culvert under the railroad track.
Shot the male. I noted fresh
gopher workings near the side
of the now dry irrigation canal.
I saw two Bewa heroras at fairly close ranges,
some quail, magpies and robins.
The day was fairly warm; a slight
breeze made working skins comfortable.
In the evening afternoon found
an Ammospophilus leucurus
in a trap left out from the trap
line but it had been out in the
hot sun too long to put up. In
the evening the traplines were re-
set, including two gopher trap
sets. I set out 52 traps.
July 9.
Collected traps and found there
Dipodomys merriami and Dipodomys
