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.
