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
