Longhurst 1939 Itinerary July 14 Maryhill, Klickitat Co., Wash. Drew blackbird, redwing blackbird, and robin, yellow warbler, and willow goldfinch. July 16 Maryhill, Klickitat Co., Wash. On the night of the 14th I set 5- No 1 1/2 spring traps along the river bank E of camp. They were baited with bodies of birds and mice. Two more rat traps and three mouse traps were set around the food holes at camp and baited with oat-meal. The catch was: Neotoma cinerea 2 O. One was caught in a rat trap and one in a spring trap. Two sets of gopher traps were also made at 1 mi, NE Maryhill, but no gophers were caught. On the 15th Johnson, Tevis, Hoffmeister, and I drove to Satus Pass NW of Goldendale about 15 mi. We stopped at the [illegible] station and inquired about camping places and then made camp at 1 mi, SW Satus Pass, 3200 ft., Klickitat Co., Wash. That evening I set out 40 mouse traps, and hunted deer for about 2 hr. No deer were seen, but tracks and sign were numerous. The traps were set among yellow pine with a heavy undergrowth of Ceanothus velutinus.
