A wash basin, cup and bucket sitting at the foot of the cliff each contained about a quarter of an inch of debris washed down by the rain, and the fine material which had covered the cut steps in the trail to our caves to a depth of several inches was all washed out, leaving the steps clear. With such storms cutting the cliffs I wonder that they have not been eroded more since the cliff dwellings were abandoned. Of course the structures erected in front of the caves had to be first destroyed before the attack on the caves could begin. Nearly all the traps were sprung, probably by the rain or hail. Nothing in them. I hunted on the mesa for a while and collected two horned toads, a pinon jay, a bush tit ? and a woodpecker. Soon became partly cloudy. Saw lots of mt. chickadees, m. doves, pinon jays, woodpeckers, pigmy nuthatches, 1 sparrow hawk, several bush tits?, one western nighthawk and several swallows apparently violet-green, though I am not sure. In late afternoon I set some more traps at the rim
