grove and pitched them there. Returned to our.boat at the bottom 
of the canyon, ate lunch and made plans for our special Miller bird transect 
study. It was decided that the party would be split into two with Sincock 
and Kridler working their way up to Tananger Peak and then on a diagonal 
to the middle canyon and back around the top of the cliff to the base of 
Bast Palm Canyon# Walker and Ballou would strike directly overland from 
East Palm Canyon to Miller Canyon, go up Miller Canyon to the top of 
Miller Peak and then down the west ridge and come back on as direct a 
route as possible to the base of Miller Canyon. Two methods were to be 
used were Peterson's flushing distance index and the one rod wide index.
