They have only a short hunting time in the evening. They came out all at once. There were none in the air- Then all of a sudden they were all there, flying everywhere. They came out about 20 minutes after sunset, and stayed out perhaps 15 minutes. "Then all of a sudden" they were all gone again. Ray shot a jackrabbit tonight, the only one we've seen. The rabbits seem to be emopicious by their ab- scence. We've seen only four cottontails, and have collected only two - and one brush rabbit (?). We saw a marsh hawk today, and I saw a flock of about fifteen crows. I just went out to look at my traps. Whoopee! I got a shrew! I got him in the grass next to the tent. From this same little 20 by 20 patch I have taken prognathus, phanyscus, rithrodontmys, microtus and sorex. /200 Sorex ? w: 5gms. 98-43-7-6.5
