Murray 1949 Journal Aug 31 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700 ft, Humboldt co, Calif. There was ponderosa pine mixed with the fir. Saw Eutamias townsendi at Brannan creek, a small, swift stream over rocks. Checked every building possible for bats. This amounting to 5 or 6, but no luck. Some were very suitable. The weather was quite hot and the sun beat down heavily. Today Dr. Pearson left. Expect Dr. Seopold tomorrow night. Set out 40 traps just north of Willow creek. Along the highway found a stream leveling out prior to emptying into the Trinity. There were large blackberry brambles, with the water ramified into little rivulets through the clumps. Some were clinging to several tall olders in the area. Adjoining, put traps in tall (2 ft.) dry grass, completely ungrazed and bearing many seed heads. Saw frequent Musotus runs, fresh droppings and scattered seeds. Part of the grass was under a walnut orchard. Crossed the highway and put a few traps along the stream where it was a more typical flow over rocks, with a quite dense and particularly varied shrub growth along the banks.
