Child 1958 Sorex arctictus 6 June Pitmege River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Got it in Tz today. They seem more brown and show a higher contrast to the ones we got last summer. 22 June Got four in rootings after the rain last night. All males. The slight additional moisture with a rise in temperate this a.m. possibly account for their increased activity 30 June Caught 3 by hand on Plot 2. Heard rustling in grass and saw one run into ground cover. Caught it and then looked closer and found 2 more — all males of the year. A rudimentary nest was constructed of lichen and moss. This was located in dry sedge-willow wet meadow 22 July Pitmege River, Tz & Cape Sabine, Alaska Several vahari in transects.
