Murray 1948 71 Journal May 19 Triunfo, 1700 ft, Baja California flycatcher, and hooded orioles, western quailcatcher and other birds we have already seen here. Set but my 50 live traps irregularly around the edges of the washes and somewhat over the defoliated hillside. Many of them I tried to place in front of mouse holes in the bank, some with droppings present. Also set 2 Schuylers. The Pipistrelles failed to appear this evening, although the larger bats seemed about as common as before. Shot 2 Eptesicus fuscus. Twice Eptesicus clove and circled my head, then flew on. Tonight went hunting up the washes, looking mainly for skunks, which we have been told are common here Saw nothing more than a Perognathus spinatus, for which I set an extra trap May 20 Same location Caught only 18, 19 Perognathus spinatus and 13 Peromyscus eremicus. The Schuylers, set in front of woodrat nests each caught Dipodomys Nectoma lepida. One nest was in a group of fairly large granite rocks, the other a pile of dry brush in the wash.
