20 April 9.5 mi. N. Johannesburg, in "Copper-Colored" hill
1 mi. E of Trona Rd. San Bernardino Co. 3200' Caf.
20 April (cont)
approx. 1.5 meters. The nest itself was
about 2 m. wide by about 3 meters long
and 2 ft deep. There were 3 main
entrances visible and 2 shallow
bird-nest-like indentations were on
top of the nest about 2 meters
apart - their function is unknown.
This cave could be very interesting
for future study of Neotoma during
daylight conditions.
Later in the P.M. we took a
short walk noting a young fledgling
house Finch and a Jackrabbit (Lepus).
One of the nests (House Finch) that I
had checked earlier now had 4 young
and 1 egg instead of 1 young and 4
eggs as seen yesterday. A subed.
Red-tailed Hawk was sighted in the
late P.M. and a Zebra-tailed Lizard
was kicked up in the sand, apparently
too cold to flee.
1700 - We set traps near the small
rock out cropping by the side of
Trona Rd near the dirt road leading
to Camp # 1.
