Took up traps & made up the the skins. Set 15 traps in P.M. mostly for Perognathus. Took a long tramp over the hills but got nothing but an old skull of a Bear. Dredged the creek for frogs & found another kind of Turtle & some shells but no frogs. Expect to start for Marfa in morning. A clear, cool morning, cloudy with a sprinkle of rain in P.M.

Saw a hawk that was probably Falco mexicana on a nest in a hole high up on the face of a cliff. Shot a Rabbit that is in size between the two others got at Lloyds. Saw lots of Rabbits & Prairie Dogs. Otocoris & Longspurs numerous. A hot day. I sweat sitting still with my coat off.
