[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] Taos Mts [[/underlined]]. [[underlined]] July 26 [[/underlined]]. Went to traps & climbed over upper slopes but did not get much of importance. Sun Elk returned just before dark with my old shot gun. [[underlined]] July 27 [[/underlined]]. Took up line of high up traps as the Phenacomys proved to be only Microtus nordax & the woodchucks get into my fox trap so fast the fox has no show. [[underlined]] July 28 [[/underlined]] Climbed to top of ridge just east of Wheeler Peak & followed crest of ridge to top of next peak east (Red dirt Mtn. - Quito pean na na ma) then over the peak & along the ridge to the peak N.E. of the Blue Lake. Found a flock of Leucosticte australis & shot one, but could find no Ptarmigan. The clouds covered the mts. most of day & half the time I could not see far. Often I was in a dense cloud. Toward noon the clouds cleared for awhile & I had a grand view of the mts. north & south The Spanish Peaks & Sangre de Christo
