12 mi. e. Miramonte 3500 ft., Fresno Co, Calif. Dec. 18, 1932 approach close enough for accurate identification. Boyers saw a Gray Squirrel near here up in a Black Oak. This p.m. at 3 o'clock we drove down the road 2 miles west and each placed out 15 mouse traps on a rather open hillside where there was short grass growing and only a small amount of brush. A number of holes indicated the possible presence of Dipodomys and Perognathus. I also placed one rat trap at one end of a culvert along the road. When I came back to the machine Boyers told me he had seen a chip-munk at the edge of the brush. Then I heard a winter wren in the tall grass and brush. White-crowned Sparrows were quite numerous. We then drove 2 miles farther to somewhat lower type of country where there were a number of large granite boulders. We parked the car and walked down to an old road on the south side of a canyon north of the road. The ground was moist here with snow on the ground in patches. Moss covered most of the rocks & trees.
