Valleitos, 7500 ft. San Pedro Martir Mts. Lower California, Mexico. June 20, Sunday. 55 traps and 4 steel settraps caught nothing. 454. Etamias merriami obscurus ♂ 73.6-G. 229-96- 33-14. Caught near large granite boulders at base of pine. Two coyotes played the merry devil around four of my steel sets and escaped being caught through their own cleverness. Tramped about 7 miles all morning looking for some deer but did not see any and had to satisfy myself in the new scenery. The foxia curvirostra were quite common in the pines around camp today but were very wild and successfully resisted our combined efforts to exterminate them. Saw quite a few Colaptes cafer collaris today for the first time, and still for the first time, they seemed quite tame.
