At about 8:30 P.M. checked tunnel at Corvinton Springs - no bats, traps undisturbed. - At about 10:30 A.M. today, at my water hole, saw what I am almost certain was a Red-Breasted Nuthatch. Aug. 29 Temp at 6:00 A.M. on ridge about 25 ft. above wash bottom = 16.8°C. On 1st ridge S. of camp, and almost opposite camp, is U.S. General Land Office bench-mark which is numbered 161 and has the following other figures on it: ¼ 56/57 Checked stock in 1st wash S. of camp (nothing) and took them up,
