It was found that the country was criss-crossed by ravines and gulches.
The bird occurred in the understory of densely vegetated gulches, where it often perched motionlessly in a hunched posture.
This bird occurs in densely vegetated gulches, frequenting the understory where it often perches motionless in a hunched posture.
The ditch/flume was kept at a much shallower gradient than the floor of the gulch.
Sudden intense rainfall upstream may produce flash floods in the bed of the gulch.
The dirt and fine gravel was then washed through the sluices, and the silt was carried off down the gulch.
During the winter of 1864-65 four log cabins were built equidistant around a large rock obstruction on the narrow floor of the gulch.
That year, the older cabins in the gulch were torn down due to their deteriorating states.
