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.
