A.R. Pearson 1949 Aug. 9, 1949 1 mi S. Bayside, Humboldt Co., Calif. Left Berkeley 6 AM with Marietta Voge. Stopped at one list house near Miranda, Humboldt Co., and found a Myotis lucifugus under a tire plate in the roof. Two more got away. Arrived at Eureka about 2:30 and spent almost 2 hours trying to find a good place to trap. He finally ended up in a fellow postman with a little clump of redwoods on it and set out all our snap traps -- Marietta 41 and me 77. At dusk we readied ourselves with our skighut -- got one shot at a big bat, and saw two others, but didn't get any. Ran our traps 10 PM. 10 PM 6 AM AKP 77 traps 4 microtus 2 Reithro Marietta 41 traps 3 Mic. 10 Mic 2 Reithro 1 Sorex 1 Mic. He only skinned the Sorex. Aug. 10, 1949 The owner of our meadow came to see me this morning and had great tales to tell of his trapping experiences in the Yukon territory -- 303 shrews in one week! He had a box set for them with 2 wooden blocks leading into it, and arrived at the above figure by counting the tails and shrews in the box each day. He caught them in the cabin. We went up to his sister's house where there was supposedly, a heavy infestation of bats, and got one Myotis from the attic. Also some plums from his orchard. Thence proceeded to a dirt road leading east out of Bayside which wound up through some redwoods,
