General Comment
Juni E Vinton, f. Phumas C. Calif., July 31
Arid Upper Sonoran - sage brush
in a valley - slopes up to yellow
pine timber on ridges to N & S.
Arrived after dark & set 60
traps by by moonlight. Sandy
soil. Started from camp
in middle of valley & set
in a rhomb - 15 across the
flat valley, 15 up to the
rocks of the hill to the N 15
along that hill & 15 back to
camp. Set at 25 yds. reg.
intervals by moonlight - most
of the traps I placed near
bushes or under them & always
in my foot markers. Bait=oats.
Heard Horned Owls calling
from telephone poles along
N.N. track.
Got 17 Dipos (merrim) August 1.
10 Peromyscus, one Eutamias from
near the rocks. The Dipos
Peromyscus
came from the sandy valley
floor, most of the Peromyscus from
the rocky hill. Many tracks.
