Murray 1948 Journal Apr 8 Punta San Felipe, 50 +/- ft., Baja California. One Citellus leucurus in a sandy wash. It bounded off with tail flying high, traveling some distance and coming a little nearer; apparently reaching its own burrow in preference to hiding in the rocks. Uta stansburiana stejnegeri is exceedingly abundant here, living on the sand, at the bases of the rocky slopes, and particularly where there is any object to break up the expanse of flat terrain. There were several bats flying about at dusk; one of which a Pipistrellus Dr. Benson shot. The weather to date has been perfect with pleasantly warm days and cool nights. Tonight, however, is quite warm. A breeze seems to arise briefly in late afternoon but soon dies away. Set out 150 live traps on the talus covered hills, running up and over a high steep one near the shore. Also put out 10 Schuyler traps in the same area, each near a burrow with wood rat sign. The American raven flew overhead today croaking harshly several times.
