Sept. 10 Quail Spring, 3700 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
- 4 yrs. ago, a "? loon" killed on the road (Apparently a large water bird, somewhat resembling a loon)
- 1 yr. ago, a "Blue-Winged Teal" flew in a house in Joshua Tree.
- 2 yrs. ago, in the middle of August, between 20 & 30 White Egrets roosting in a Joshua Tree; this was on the Victorville Rd. toward Lucerne Valley, about 30 miles from the Joshua Tree Hwy.
- Mr. Robinson reports a "hummingbird with a crest, not bright-colored like most, but sort of smoke-colored." It had a "short, stubby tail". This was in the Bullion Mts., R6E, T5N.
Returned to camp and prepared specimens. After supper Jerry Russell and I walked to the spring. I set up both the fine and the heavy hair nets horizontally.
Sept. 11 *Quail Spring, 4500 ft., Bernardino Co., Calif.*
Walked to the spring with Jerry Russell. There were no bats in the nets. Returned to camp and prepared specimens. Chuck Adams, the Monument "Naturalist" (not official?), and a fire patrolman visited camp. They brought a Mastacophil piece which they had run over at the Indian Cove entrance to the Monument.
