Apr 8 Angwin, Pope Creek, and Environs, Nappa Co., Calif.
+9 Left L.S.B. about 2:00 p.m. Met at St.
Helena and proceeded to an old barn outside of
Angwin, for bats. We didn't find many
but did get some Corynorhinus rafinesquii
and Myotis thysanodes. From here, we
proceeded to a locality on Pope Creek about
3 1/2 mi. out S.E. of the town of Pope Creek.
The weather was cloudy, with intermittent
drizzling most of the afternoon. We set out
snap traps at this place, ate supper, and,
tried shining animals along the road
without much success.. We then drove to an
old shed, apparently, an old chicken-house, to
look for bats.. We found, more, and as the
west rain began coming down, we decided
to sleep here. This was closer to Pope Creek
South and West of our trap-lines. On the
way, we noticed a large # of Dipetalomys
in the road. The only one collected on the
trip was one run over. Shined several
deer from the car, and one small animal,
either a fox or a raccoon.. We checked
the traps once before returning. 1 shrew
(orex trowbridgii) in mice.. In the
morning found, 3 Peromyscus truei, 2
P. maniculatus, 1 Rheithrodonmys
megaloitis. 13 traps in all, baited
with walnuts and oatmeal. Ran my
line along the creek, about 20 feet back,
along a barbed wire fence, under various
burlaps, cut back away from the creek
out into a field. Traps under burlaps
out in the field. We did some bat shooting
