Itinerary
May 21, Russian Gulch State Park. Mendocino C. Co.
One weasel trap was set in this
Redwood habitat. The three
remaining rat traps were
set on top of large logs in
the marginal habitat between
Pine Barren and Redwoods. There
are clumps of Deer Fern and
many Arctostaphylos nearby.
The trees include Redwood,
Bishop Pine and Douglas fir.
These however are few and
there is consequently very
little shade. There was
no catch in these traps either.
The other weasel trap was
set in a darker region nearly
next to a log and with
Redwood habitat plants. This
was also untouched. The
weasel traps were set
with weasel scent.
May 22, Jean Boulware and I set 37 traps
in the Gulch east of camp
along the road in the typical
Riparian-marginal habitat.
There were 2 traps sprung
without animals and 18 with.
