large holes which could have been kit fox
dens. We had seen a bobcat at about 1530
between our camp and Mike's Sky Rancho. We
also saw a roadrunner, Nuttall's woodpecker, Hairy woodpecker,
(these near Mike's) Audubon's warbler, Kinglet, scrub jay,
Oregon junco, red-tailed hawk, Kingfisher, and raven.
The sky was 50% covered by wispy clouds in
the morning with light wind. By late afternoon
the wind was gusting to ~30 mph but it was
not too cold (~45° F).
16 Dec. Rancho Sangre de Cristo, 31 1/2 mi. E Ensenada, Baja Calif.
del Norte, Mexico ~850m.
Out of 19 traps (folding Sherman's) I caught two Peromyscus
eremicus (one on the hill under a rock, one on the
flat area), two P. maniculatus, five Dipodomys. My one large
collapsible Havahart baited with two Dipodmys carcasses
yielded nothing. The others caught these species plus
P. Escobrick caught a Perognathus. There were two kinds of
Dipodomys, D. merriami and a five-toed one, maybe
D. heermanni. Dave Bradford caught a Neotoma lepida
in the rocks on the hill. We processed material and
did skins all morning. Dave Bradford and Bill
Glantz left mid-morning after helping with the processing.
17 Dec No notes taken by me. Our next locality was
to 19th. 1/2 mi. S La Mision Arroyo Martinez, then back to
San Diego, where I went E to Albuquerque and
the others went back to the SF. by air.
