Longhurst 1939 Itinerary Oct.2 Hinchica Cr. I also set 8 snares for brush rabbits using #22 wire and setting them on trails at the edge the Baccharis The wires were merely secured to Baccharis bushes and no attempt at a spring arrangement was tried. The catch was: Microtus c. aestuarinus 1? Perithodotomys halocites haliocetes 2? 1? Sylvilagus bachmani The Microtus were caught among a dense growth of Salicornia, Frindelia cuneifolia, and marsh. After collecting the traps Marshall and I returned to the ranch. In the evening I shot - Mystis californicus 1? Tadarida mexicana 1? Both were collected near the Cr. After dark we went up the Cr. in search of screech owls but did not secure any. However, we did see one Meplatris and several Lepus c. Birds seen about the marshes during the last two days include: green-winged teal, mallard, shovelers, ruddy ducks, greater snow goose, avocet, least sandpiper,
