Nerdrickson 1958 Journal Sept. 14 Cottonwood Springs, 3040 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. with lady residing there. She described, among other things, what must have been a White-Winged Dove, and what may have been a Clark Nuttacker, each had hung about their house earlier in the year. Walked to mine about 1 mile 5E of the house; this is a shaft in hard rock, about 100 ft. long, slanting down at an angle of about 50°-60°. There were no bats and was no bat sign evident. Enroute to the mine, the road passes through a wide place in a wash where milling (?) for the mine may have been done. There are remains of several building and heavy scaffolding. Much lumber and junk was turned in this area without producing more than $25s. Several Eucalyptus trees, about 5" in diam/2" above the ground, were seen here; one is apparently doing well; one shows a little green; two look quite dead. Returned to Cottonwood Spring via the wash-canyon leading down to it from above. Collected a ? Rufous Hummingbird from the wash about 1/4 mile above the (Spring) Pontalimon?) spring. Much Monkey Flower (?) was in bloom in this area. Swinnina auriculie.
