My traps this morning, rained on, brot only one blue-
pelaged, young (male sign), Peromyscus manipulatus under
a grease-wood clump (Adenostoma fasciculatum).

6583 Sceloporus Under rock.
6584 Cnemidophorus Dug out of ground in making barbecue pit.
6585 Nyctinomus (male sign) 93 x 32 x 8 x 14. Shot at late last dusk last night
flying rather high north over open ground paralleling willows.
6586 Mudhen (female sign) alone, at side of creek in willow bellow the ranch.
6587 Brewer Sparrow (male sign) 11.9g. Shot from willow, near water; was preening.
6588 Marsh Wren (male sign) im. 11.9g. Shot from sawgrass among willows near
shallow water in marshy place; two others noted.

There was a flock of Chipping Sparrows in the
ranch yard this morning, a dozen or so. Presently
a Sharp-shinned Hawk dashed in among them. I
saw a Red-breasted Sapsucker in a cottonwood. Trees
here which are punctured one willow, cottonwood and the
deciduous orchard trees, pear & apple. Heard
a Yellowthroat in a semi-aquatic tangle where the
creek seeps out of the sand; for there is no water
in the stream course for a long way above
the ranch, at least running on the surface. Heard
two Tanagers in the willow-bottom early in the
morning. There are about 6 English Sparrows around
the ranch, staying around the cottonwoods above the
corrals and sheds, in which trees there are
mistletoe clumps; also in and around a stock
of fodder corn nearby. There are a few Linnets
about the ranch, and very many Intermediate Sparrows.
