Itinerary
Jan. 9
3 mi. SSW Temecula, 1025 ft., Riverside Co.
cont'd. This A.M. left Rainbow about
8 and drove to this locality. In 17
Macabee gopher traps here caught 10
Thomomys bottae. In 45 gor.- size
mouse traps caught last night the
following species: Reithrodontomya
megalotis, 5 (2♂, 2♀, 1 ?). Peromyscus
maniculatus, 7 (4♂, 3♀); Dipodomys
agilis, 4 (3♂, 1♀). But caught no
D. merriami for which I was specially
trapping.
Ontario, 1100 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Drove from Temecula to Ontario
via Murrietta, Elsinore, Alberhill
and Corona arriving shortly before
noon.
Jan. 10
1100 ft., 1158 Columbia Ave., Ontario, San
Bernardino Co., Calif.
This A.M. picked up a dead
Pylocisla guttata under a lemon
tree in our back yard. It is probable
that the bird either froze (temperature
as low as 22 degrees recorded last
night) or that the heavy smudge,
from orange orchard heating may
have contributed in some way.
