Aug 8 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
into area with old piles of boards and
a barn. A few were along the edge
of some standing water and up on its
bank. Dr. Miller found a thamnophis
elegans in the thick grass at camp.
(my cat. 610). Several bats flew at
dusk. Just after dark found a Myotis
regilla in thick green grass among alders.
Aug 9 Same location
In 45 traps had 2 (1♂, 1♀) Peromyscus
maniculatus. (male immature, discarded)
One was under edge of barn, the other
in deep in salmonberry chaparral.
The morning was foggy and cool. Picked
up a Bufo boreas at about 6:30 AM
out in the open. Pocket gophers are
numerous in spots around here. Saw
gophers pulling grass at two holes in
camp and set traps for both. Caught
(cat. Pearson)
one in less than 2 hours. Turned:
numerous logs and peeled bark in all
habitats. Found a large rotted spruce
log with 3 Ensatina eschscholtzii, 1 (I lost)
Batrachoseps attenuatus in dense alder-
spruce woodland. These were in cracks
in the wood under a surface of moss
and decayed material. (Sp. accts.)
