Murray 1948 Lepus californicus Apr 11 Punta San Felipe, 50+ ft., Baja California Saw one in a rocky, sandy and rather deep wash. Had fairly heavy ironwood, creosote, encelia etc. The rabbit ran a considerable distance up the wash when found by Guest, then back down about 200 yds when chased by me. Each time it stopped just short of entering cover. Apr 12 Same location In one week here that lone jack rabbit was the only one any of us have seen. The Mexicans say they should be abundant, though. Apr 28 30 mi SE Mesquital, 600+ ft., Baja California Saw one last night about 8:30 while setting out traps. It seemed confused by my flashlight, not knowing which way to turn and could be approached quite closely. Today while hunting saw 3. Each time would run 30-50 feet and stop behind a bush. While at a distance and being followed they were inclined to hop slowly away for a short distance until hidden. The terrain was fairly heavily grown with brush with ocotillo, cardons, cholla and yucca. (see journal)
