Sylvilagus
April 2, Berglund Ranch, 1450 ft. Santa Cruz Co. 5 mi. N
Corralitos, Calif.
One immature Sylvilagus was caught
in one of 96 traps set along the margin
of dry chaparral covering a hillside above
an apple orchard. The traps were near
the ridge of the hill where the habitat
changed from chaparral to meadows. In
setting out our traps we noticed many
apparent rabbit runs with characteristic
droppings. The margins of the chaparral
was dominated by tall Baccharis sp. bushes,
about 7 ft. tall.
