Gilmore 1926 San Felipe, S.L. Lower Calif., Mexico. March 23, 1926. here due possibly to lack of water. Some of the most common around the beach and back a quarter of a mile are Chipping Sparrows, Gambel's Sparrow, immature Vireos, Vultures (in prey), Humming Birds, a few Phoebe and Thrashers. Lion's Thrashers (back up in the hills further). A hunt this morning netted two Jack Rabbits, one Gambel's Sparrow, one young Vireo, and one female Say Phoebe (with egg). The Vireos must have nested early, possibly in February, because the young year's brood are common. We have seen no rattlesnakes yet in spite of the predictions by the Mercurial. Our catch tomorrow will probably be greater than today due to more traps out.
