Palmer 1935 Itinerary July 16 Roude Cr., 1/2 mi. E Smith River (cont'd.) contd. are coned by alders under which is a ground cover of grass extending back as little meadows. New found a great number of mole workings but the ground is so rocky beneath the grass roots that I couldn't set any traps. About 8 P.M. shot a Myotis that was flying low over the creek at the edge of the alders. Saw only 1 other bat. July 17 This morning shot a Ateluxa douglasii at the mouth of its burrow in a steep bank. Heard a chipmunk in a black- berry thicket. Saw Kingfisher, Great-blue Heron and Water Ouzel along the creek. There are many Song Sparrows too, mostly in blackberry thickets, brakes fern and Coylus at the edge of a small hay field. Saw Band-tailed pigeon in Douglas Fir on the hill.
