Murray 1949 Journal Sept 3 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. creek. Now have noticed quite a few coeruleus active after the sun has set, around 4 to 5 P.M. Went downstream to the Trinity, about a mile distant. On the way found a slightly brackish piece of water in the then broad stream bed. This apparently had a flow in high water. Collected a Triturus rivularis in the water. Found a Sceloporus occidentalis under a log in the open. Caught an aquatic thamnophis elegans (same as another recently coll.) but lost specimen. Near edge of small stream flow. Hoped to get good bat shooting in the open spaces of the stream bed, but saw very few. Shot 1 Eptesicus fuscus. Sept 4 Same location Traps had 1 Neurotrichus gibbsii, 2 Sorex trowbridgii, 1 & Reithrodonomys megalotis, 2 Peromyscus maniculatus (disc). Reason for catching shrews today and not yesterday might be attributed to addition of walnut to the bait. There were plenty of empty traps left before. I have a vague idea that the shrews have been largely second night catches thus far. Took a last desperate try for bats, looking through a couple of barns in Willow Creek, but still no luck.
