Murray 1949 Journal Aug 26 3 mi N Willows Creek, 700ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. There are many logs around, many of them rotted Douglas fir. Apparently the firs have been burned out of the canyon bottom. Must describe vegetation in the morning. Turned one log and found 4 Triturus rivularis; am not sure whether they were underneath or in cracks, as the log split. The underportion was very moist, and above drier - all well rotted. Found 2 Gerrhonotus coeruleus under it also. Not far away found a Gerrhonotus coeruleus out and active in grassy patch. All these were within 4 feet of the stream At early dusk found bats were flying up and down the stream course. Took a net and netted 2 Myotis californicus as they fed in one clear space over the water. Dr. Pearson shot a Myotis volans. He also found a Triturus rivularis active at edge of stream (on land) when it was almost dark. Found that mole crickets have the nerve to come and steal bait from the traps at night. The day here has been clear and quite warm.
