Diary 11 mi. W and 7 mi. S Mitchell June 12, 1938 Made only a poor catch. On the way down in the car flushed a herd of mule deer, 6 roe. Hunted my way home. In a meadow ¼ mile E of the road saw a few Citellus and plenty of workings. Will get them later. Shot a chipping sparrow and scared up a Chickory, got it too. Later shot a Western bluebird. Miller taught me how to put it up. Caught a Rana in the stream off of camp. Put out 35 traps mostly in marsh grass for micratus. On the way home set out several (5) traps along the stream near some willows for Zapus. June 13, 1938 Besides cataloged specimens caught four Pleomycus; 3 males, 1 female; and one juvenile micratus. Shot a juvenile ♀ Citellus. Stalked a young buck in velvet, probably mule deer. Rained yesterday afternoon, fields very wet last night and a heavy dew this morning. Lickers seem more active today.
