Species Account
Gray Shrew
(Notiosorex crawfordi)
14 May South
[illegible] fork in Bonanza king Canyon,
Providence Mountains, San Bernardino Co., CA.
T11N R14E sec 32 sw'1/4. elev. ~1460 m.
Bruce and I found a dead [illegible]
shrew in one of our pitfall traps just
above the confluence of the south fork and
middle fork of Bonanza king Canyon. The
trap was placed just below some small
boulders in a rocky wash next to some
oak like shrubs and a piñon pine. This
area is the approximate lower limit of
the Piñon-Juniper woodland in this canyon.
My identification of this specimen
is tentative as this species is the only
known one in the area and specimens
have been taken from the nearby Granite
Mountains. I know of no other shrew
specimens taken from the Providence Mountains.
