Murray 1949 35 Journal Aug. 26 3 min Willow Creek, 700ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. Packed up and left French Camp, driving down the mountains to Martin's Ferry. About 2 mi preceding, found a young thamnophis elegans along the road. Noticed as we descended steeply, that there were increasing numbers of madrones, then quite a few oaks scattered through. Then traveled through Hoopa Valley to Willow Creek. Heard there were bats in some buildings there, and expect to check later. About 2 mi above Hoopa, saw a blue-tail small shink run from the road. Made our camp on Coon Creek, crossing a suspension bridge over the Trinity River and following the road to where it intersects the creek. Our camp is beside the road, much shaded by a tall canopy of maples. The stream is a pretty large one, and rapid flowing. there are numerous rocks in it. Saw that there were many Rana boylii along the banks, extremely active. There are also dicamptodon larvae. Walking along the road saw shunk, deer, snake, and lizard tracks. Found a Cernhonotus multicaudus in the road. Saw a Sciuurus griseus on a tree. Set 45 traps, going downstream and putting the traps either next to the water or in vegetation at the base of the banks.
