[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] Nov. 3 Sunday. Took my paper & went down a half mile from town to sit on a point of rocks & write. While there a pair of Falco mex. came around near my head & 4 Calipepla gambeli nearly ran over me. An Auriparus flaviceps came & picked a little yellow berry with its bill & placing it in its right claw, rested its tarsus across the branch & held the berry while it picked off the pulp, then gave the seed a flip & picked another. This one it took in its left claw & proceeded as before. I watched it eat 6 berries in this way, changing feet each time. Saw a pair of Columbigallinea passerina. " [[ditto for: Nov.]] 4 Went to traps early & got an Onychomys but nothing else new. Made 10 mammal & 3 bird skins. Rained a little in morning & wind blew all day. rather chilly & all the Mexicans are shivering. Went out later & set a few more traps & hunted for rabbits without success. Found 3 Campylorhynchus roosting in their nests after sundown. Their nests always seem to be kept in repair & are probably used to roost in.
