Sept 8 Red Mt, 5300 ft, 14 mis Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.
Eutamias amoenus. Saw a jackrabbit in
edge between base of Ceanothus, and pine.
Also believe I saw a boarcat through the brush,
though could not swear to it. Shot a hairy
woodpecker and saw and heard several others.
Also a white-headed woodpecker. All were
working in Jeffrey pine.
In late afternoon caught a Sceloporus
orientalis on the base of a tree.
Put out 25 more traps and moved a few
more, all in similar habitat. Now have 100.
After dark waited in oak woodland and
listened. Could hear woodrats scrambling
around and from this found 2 nests
Sept 9 Same location
Caught 2♀ Eutamias amoenus, 5♂, 1♀
Peromyscus maniculatus.
In the afternoon found another ♀
Eutamias amoenus and 2 Junco oreganus in
Traps in Ceanothus cordulatus. Found a
Thamnophilis elegans in a partially shaded
spot
Reset all traps and left them in place,
also put a Schuyler by each woodrat nest.
The last 2 days have been stormy, with irregular
rain and thunder. Today it seemed to be
breaking up.
