of the fragments. Numerous Stelgidopteryx
serrifemmes and Agelaius phoeniceus sonorums
were found around a damp and flooded
piece of ground next to an irrigation ditch
accompanied by a few Molothrus ater. A
Mimus polyglottos fleucopterus was perched
on a near by willow near the water
but was quite wary. Working back
up to the gravelly fan I roused two
Chordeiles acutipennis texensis from under
a low shrub. They led me to a draw
leading up into the fan in which I
found some Vermivora lutescens celata
and immature Auriparus flaviceps.
On the way back I took a Cistothorus aberti
which was on the bank of the ditch
mentioned above. In the afternoon while
in swimming saw numerous Tyrannus
verticalis and A. p. sonoriums near
the water's edge. Heard many Splintyz
gambelli in the dense arrowweed.
While setting some steel sets I killed
a Cottontail rabbit in the arrowweed
and one Chordeiles acutipennis, texensis
Heard some owls just a while back.
