Itinerary
Oct.8 Huichica Cr.
45 mouse traps and one set of #15
steel traps were also set out on
a low oak covered hill further
up the Cr. at an elevation of about
250 ft. all were set at the
edge of a thicket of Adenostema
faciculatum and among live oaks,
and poison oak, and buckeyes. The
steel traps were baited with the
body of a rabbit and the mouse
traps with oat meal. The catch was:
Peromyscus truei gilbertii 2 ♂
Both were caught at the edge of
the chamise thicket.
Oct.15 Huichica Cr. 200 ft.
This evening two bats were collected:
Lasiurus borealis telista 1 ♂
Myotis evotis 1 ♀
The Lasiurus was shot at dusk
along the margin of tree lining
the Cr. and the Myotis was
found hanging from a rafter
in the basement of my home.
It had apparently entered through
an open cellar door.
