tr hut and wait for bus.

We were after 0615 and set entered canyon. I didn't catch
anything but on [illegible] I was caught one more Phyllotis Darwini
Phyllotis darwini. When we came back Ray was collecting
and got me House Wren, Titylodytes scolar and an Conirostrum sp.
At 0800 the maximum temperature over for last 24 hr was 60°F
and minimum was 52°F. I spent several hours catching
up on my notes and then catalogued the two Decker I caught last
night. After this I went up the hill to the North looking for something
different to shoot. I was unable to find anything but a small flock
of Conirostrum. They were too nervous to get close enough to shoot.
When I came down Ray had given up on a Conirostrum he found
earlier and I put that up. We just about finished our food at
lunch (and we had a can of tuna and some bread) as was an
country car Carl's arrived today. After lunch I headed down Canyon
to E. It was much deeper than last time are still sign of great
activity everywhere. In this canyon I only saw 5 birds and I didn't
hear any other. I saw two Barnswy Owl, Speotyto cunicularis,
on a Sparrow Hawk, Falco sparverius, two Dark-billed Kites,
Chondrohierax uncinatus. The bottom of this canyon is quite
flat and fork with one fork going N and one going E. There
are some old crags built of rocks located on the canyon floor.
The North side is covered with large boulder and appear to
be suitable for Bock's, Phylloctyulus species. Didn't
get to bottom of canyon but I saw a Dark-billed Kite that
