13 mi. N. El. Mayor, Lower Calif., Mexico. April 28, 1926. Moved camp in the afternoon to a place north of El Mayor. On the way up we were told by Johnny Martin, the old white man at El Mayor that the hawks were very scarce this year and that the preceding years he could not raise chickens very well on account of the large number of hawks. For some unaccountable reason they are not present this spring. We saw only one around here and that was when we were passing in the arito about 4 miles north of El Mayor. Left camp in a threatening sky and ran into a thunderstorm accompanied by a little rain about 10 miles north. Found a good looking locality and pitched camp in the thunder & rain. Storm grew more and more severe as time went on & is still going now at 8:30 P.M. thus prohibiting the setting of traps.
