Sorex pacificus
Aug 11 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
1 ♂ out of 30 traps in redwood forest
with thickets of salmonberry and thimble-
berry, ferns and green herbs.
I was in piles of driftwood shaded
by alders near the creek.
Aug 12 Same location
Had 1♂,1♀ again in redwoods; same
line as yesterday - under salmonberry
thickets. Yesterday found 1 in afternoon,
evidently a daytime catch.
Aug 13 Same location
Took 1 ♀ in 15 traps set in dense alder
and spruce woods. Undergrowth was
moist but not thick, mostly ferns and
nettles. Upon checking this line in
the afternoon, found 1 at the edge of
the woods in salmonberry and nettles
which was not there this morning.
Aug 14 Same location
Had 1 in about the same place as the
daytime catch of yesterday.
In 30 traps had 1 in salmonberry
under redwoods.
Aug 15. Same location
Caught 1 in thick spruce and alder
woods next to camp. In moist fern clump.
Also 1 in another spruce alder set of 25 traps.
