Barometer tonight, 23.10 inches; clear and cold - an
inch of ice on water bucket this morning.
Ground Squirrels (?) are still out in numbers.
I suppose they may hibernate here, but no signs
of it yet. Chipmunks simply swarm on certain
bushy slopes - 6 in sight at once, scampering
over boulders, or over the ground from bush to bush.
They have all the notes of ordinary merriami - the hollow "bock", etc. I have seen "sign" of Jack
Rabbit, but not one of the animals. This is evidently
not a rabbit year. Saw two Ruby-crowned
Kinglets in the willows today; one Tanager in
cascara; at least 4 Solitaires, whose interests
center around the cascara thickets, as do those
of the Bluebirds.
Slender-billed Nuthatch ?ad. 16.3g. Shot from pine bole.
Pine Siskin ?ad. 15.2g. 8feet from up in pine.
Oct. 12
Trap-line played out; only 18 Peromyscus Truei in
trap under (?)-discarded.
Olive-backed thrush ?im. 29.1g. The rat-trap under (?).
Cañon Wren ?ad. 10.4g. Shot from boulder, one up a pile.
San Lucas Flycatchers ?im. 8.9g. Shot in willow thicket, from perch 5 feet up. The only individual (?) if any
sort whatsoever seen here this fall.
Slender-billed Nuthatch ?ad. 16.8g. Shot in pine.
Prigmy Nuthatch ?ad. 11.1g. Shot from pine.
Sierra (?) ?im. 15.3g. Alone; shot on ground among [bushes; salvia | S3 Page 40Collector: Grinnell-1925
