A.K. Pearson 1949. 5 to camp. He plan to stay here tonight again, especially hoping for more Zapus + M. oregoni. Aug. 14, 1949 12 mi S. Korbel, on Draple Creek, Humboldt Co., Calif. Snaps 65t live traps 50t 6 Pero 1 S. pacificus, 1 S. trumbidgi 2 Zapus 1 Zapus 1 S. pacificus 14 Pero. 1 S. pacificus Got several more Zapus - all males - but no more oregoni . Started in a.m., left Draple Creek about noon. Spent a lot of time trying to locate another camping place, + after numerous unsuccessful turns we turned off of 101 S. of Eureka on the road to Falk. This road ends at what used to be an active saw mill but it has not been operating since 1937 and the road is dotted with lovely abandoned log houses. He reached several without success. Set out only our snap traps along the creek by the saw mill. Heard horned owl, saw a squirrel in a tree (striking orange on belly - could it have been a flying squirrel?) and heard wood rats at night. No bats seen until in the morning, when 3 were seen flying while it was already quite light out. Aug. 15, 1949 Elk River, Falk, Humboldt Co., Calif. about 5 snaps each: Me: 10 Pero 2 stolen traps 5 Pero 2 S. pacificus Märzetta: 1 S. hendrixi 1 S. trumbidgi 1 Micrston calif.
