LIDICKEN 1976 Nov. 12 cont. - Hunting. Significant rain of the morning. Mark went field in evening also Liz MA this on Mojave Desert rodent community. While driving to Riverside Hwy Camel Valley Rd, we saw 8 Red St. Hacks & 2 Red shelled Hawks. Nov. 13 Ran Chaparral Colburn line with 2 students. There was a good catch, but no hadronyids. One trap at station no. 3 was missing; we looked down slope & found a old trap two jumps open & set the instead. At Robinson Creek, the golden ants produced 1 gopher. The trip to 2 then set 6 by Stewarts along edge of chaparral clear the road. Later [illegible] in the day, we set 9 hole traps close to the Station Headquarters. Spawning talky + Davis's & Patton's. Nov. 14 Picked my traps at Robinson Ck. One gopher and had a good gopher impetuous laying near the road. The 6 Stewarts produced: 1 Neotoma, 1 Perognathus trini (both of which were released), & 2 Re:Perodontomy's (taken from a fests) + 1 Perognathus californicus (killed by shining by a student). The 9 hole ants caught nothing, but two were set off. Left for home ~ 1345'. Saw Red-tail. Squirrels on way out. This Black Phoebe's and blue tan seen at the Station. Otherwise only common birds were noted; crows seemed more abundant than 2 had perceived them previously. 1 Perognathus calif. catch: cleaned him totally; only one Perognathus
