Nevrickson 1950 Journal 35 Sept. 9 Stubby Spring, 4500 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. Swainson Thrush, [illegible] Wren, and Pileolated Warbler. Returned to camp and prepared specimens. Dwail spring, 3700 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif. Polt. Bailey, Polt. Norris, Jerry Russell and I drove to the tanks at about 6:00 P.M. Set up fine hair net for bats. Set it vertically at first; 3 Pipistrelles were captured. Then set it horizontally; 1 Myotis (volans?) was caught. Larger bats were seen flying. The Myotis was much entangled, and tore the net somewhat. Sept. 10 Returned with Bailey and Norris. I stayed near the spring tank. One Myotis (volans?) - dead - and one living Eptesicus were entangled in the net. Collected Lawrence Dollfinch, Aransas Dolfinch, and two House Finches. Drove to Joshua Tree for A.M. & Mrs. W.D. Robinson drove up while I was at the spring. They reside at Valley View Circle, Joshua Tree Natl. Monument. They claim interest in the local bird life and several observations by them follow (as given to me in their words):
