Murray 1949 Journal 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.
