Itinerary
May 21, Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif.
along logs at the side and a little
beneath them in the shade. The
sets were made in the Redwood
forest and the marginal habitat
between it and the pine barrens.
Elevation varied from about 60' to
750'. The first trap was set for
Aplodontia in a wet bank next to the
trail, (We follow the North Trail).
The trap was not sprung. The
next two were set on logs for
Chipmunks and also were unsprung.
The next was set on a stump
where a Chickory had once been
seen. This also was not sprung.
Another was set in a broad
runway in the bank beside the
road in the hope of getting an
Aplodontia'. This trap caught
a Sorex vagrans. All these 5
traps were in the Redwood
forest. The forest is rather dark.
There is only low undergrowth
composed of Broken ferns,
Ground Iris, Gaultheria, and
Sword ferns. There is a very
eavy leaf cover on the ground.
