6365 Lewis Woodpecker (female sign) im. 90g. Shot last evening on fence post;
gullet full of pear pulp; had been around two days.
Another seen this morning.
6366 Eptesicus fuscus (male sign) 12.0 g. 98x43x9x11.5. Shot by
Lamb last evening, circling about over ranch yard
Saw two Pileolated Warblers in sunlit crowns
of cottonwoods. Two Phainopeplas around mistletoe
clumps in cottonwoods. Three Barn Swallows flew
south overhead about sunset last evening. A
small company of Brewer Blackbirds in corn-field.
10a.m.-- Waiting for completion of packing! According
to Melling, a very experienced and reliable cattle-man,
deer range all thru the country, from the top of the
San Pedro Martir down along the hills nearly to the
sea coast, tho not out on the "llanas"; there are
always some in the hills each side of San Telmo,
and around here they are common, although the open
nature of the country makes them hard to get near
enuf to to (sic) shoot. Three days ago one was shot 1 1/2
miles north of the ranch -- this furnishing our "meat"
since we have been here. A this-years doe, perhaps
4 months old, is a most attractive pet about the
ranch house; it goes in and out of the rooms,
especially the kitchen where it has been fed cows milk,
and consorts freely with the dogs and pigs. This
deer of the San Pedro "section" ought to be
compared carefully with the topotypes we have of
"californicus" from Santa Barbara County.
