29 May Indian Creek, 7400ft., White Mts, Esmeralda Co, Nevada
we stopped at McNeil's Ranch. Saw
about 4 or 5 cedar waxwings here and
a couple of Bullock's Orioles. Pitched
our camp in S end of Post meadow at about
7400ft. Vegetation here similar to that
in Trail except that there is consid-
erable more open meadow and sev-
eral "swamps" of very large willow
in which one can walk without get-
ting hopelessly entangled in Rose.
Plenty of rose also, however in other
sections. Set 10 traps in early eve
in sage st along stream just up from
camp. later we all tried to get a
poorwill which was calling sporad-
ically. First noticed presence when
one lit like a big moth in a
bare area about 45' from our
camp fire. The calling was not
persistent, however, and we
had no luck shining.
30 May Caught 5 Peromyscus m. sonor-
ensis and 1 Poor-Will! The poor
will, caught in the trap set
nearest our camp, alongside the
stream, was found lying or rest-
ing on the ground about 3 ft.
