Memmler 1942 39. Itinerary April 6, Muddy Creek, 750 ft. Chualar Canyon, Monterey Co., Calif. Lunch I went walking up the wood road which follows Muddy Creek. I saw several Racoon tracks in the muddy places in the road, and some Cat tracks. A Bobcat crossed the road about 50 yds in front of me. The road runs S. until it reaches a level space where it turns E. It is about 1 mile from our Camp at the junction of Muddy Creek and Chualar Canyon. We saw a flock of about 25 Crows. There were also deer tracks seen in the road. The sky has been overcast since noon, but no rain has fallen yet. There were occasional strong wind. When the crows were counted later at close range there were 15 in the flock. April 7, Muddy Creek, 1,000 to 1600 ft. 1 mi S Chualar Canyon, Monterey Co., Calif. Jean Boulware and I walked up the old wood road running along Muddy Creek towards the South. Here in the Brush on the flat we set 31 traps. The habitat is composed largely of Salvia mellifera Artemesia and Balscharis in that order of abundance. We found 5 traps sprung with no catch, one immature & Woodrat, one Peromyscus maniculatus, one toad,
