Neotrichus gibbsii
Aug 14 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
Took one in redwood forest out of 15 traps after several days trapping. Was next to a rotted log in dense but low growth of oxalis. Thick layer of moist dead redwood leaves. Well shaded.
Found several well formed runways passing along the earth surface under the leaf litter.
Aug 16 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
Caught another nearby, this time in a clump of ferns. Leaf litter was a little thinner and runs were poorly formed, amounting to spaces among twigs again under the layer of leaves.
Aug 19 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif
Had 45 traps along an old road, north facing slope, with spruce, hemlock and alder. Undergrowth was salmonberry, thimbleberry and blackberry with ferns. Caught 1♀ behind a log, very moist and shaded by ferns, next to a very small stream flow.
