Felger is doing the bird work for the trip. I note the absence of house finches and lack of abundance of red wing blackbirds . Every where bluebirds (S. arctica) have been common. Pinon jays are abundant locally. A few magpies occasionally. Went up the basal slope of the bluffs about half way from school house to the canyon west of it ? northwest of school house. A little ways up the slope "float" appeared containing fossils. Followed it up nearly to first distinct sandstone. It comes from calcareous (?see) concretions in the transition beds from the Mancos to the Mesa Verde. I collected two bags full and returned to camp at 12:20. In afternoon Felger and Robbins went with me, and we got two more bags full. The lot includes Baculites ovatus , B. compressus? , Inoceramus barabini , I. sagensis , and others, Sphaeriola cordata , Placenticeras sp. , Ostrea sp. , Panopaea
