Journal.
April 10. McMillan Ranch, San Luis Obispo Co.
1700 after some discussion with Dan,
examined the pasture where many
quail were feeding. Grass was
sparse & dried, but the ground
covered with small but lush Erodium,
some flowering, many seeded. This
food concentration is obviously far
in excess of the quail requirements
and is in contrast to the un-
grazed enclosure with taller
gasses either wholly or partially
dried, and no Erodium - also
no quail feeding there.
1705-
Drove over ranch roads to check
old house, trees & willow cops,
and thence down Gillis Canyon
road en route x Hastings.

53494. Arrived Hastings about
2030, mileage 53617.
