E.V. Miller 1940 3 General Account I set out 10 no 1 Schuyler traps in a small plot of heavy grass growth around a spring. The plot was about 30 yds. square and the grass mostly dead and very thick. A few runways were present. I hoped to get Cottun Rats (Sigmodon) This plot is about 1/4 mile W.of camps, on the road to Sunnygordo- along the road I set 16 no 3 (small) Schuyler traps (for mice, etc.). The soil here is rocky and the vegetation small trees - Arizona Juniper, Pinen Pine, Live Oak, Margarita, Carnothus, etc. Underbrush is not thick. Margarito caught 2 gophers in the afternoon and Benen a Sigmodon, near the camp. I did not visit my traps. The weather is cold, and this evening we built a fire in the tent to write these notes. Throughout the trip the weather has been clear and warm in the day time. Correction - visited traps after dark - none spring. Heard a Screech Owl after dark and tried to find it without success. Mar 16 Visited my traps after sunrise - none spring. Set out 10 more Schuyler no. 1's in same place as first 10 of yesterday. The Aphelecoma here appears to be aiberri according to Bailey's Handbook. The throat is gray and the calls more magpie-like than A. californica. Crested Jays are also present. In afternoon saw Robins, Golden Eagle, Ravens, and Hutton Vireo. Set out, in late afternoon, 50 small wooden traps for mice, baited with oatmeal. Set them along road to ranch, among rocks, under Rhus, live oaks, nut pines, junipers and around stumps and Century plants. Visited my other traps, - none spring. The
