1100- measured vegetation spacing and height and moved camp into hills

Larrea but many other large shrubs
very common. Substrate varies from
light gravel to dark red on hill sides.

Mourning Dove (common), House Finch (common),
Costa's Hummer, Common Raven, Common
Crow, & Laddebacked Woodpecker, Ash-
throated Flycatcher. On short walks
