Aug 14 Only mouse (zapus) out of 50 traps in big redwoods.
Probably this hive. Two more wood rats and a skillogalee
at the woodrat nest, also 1 Myotis longicauda
in the dry grass + thistle a few feet from M. Oregoni
yesterday.
Evening was cooler and muddier than most.
Myotis flight sponsors and later than navol. Noted out,
Aug 15 2 Myoturus and 1 Jones poeferis. Nothing in
gross-thistle, Shot a Sylvisyne bochuerani at
7 a.m along road south of camp. Then drove to Eureka
to have truck fixed. Several hours shopping bathing,
and sightseeing in Eureka. Two points of interest
in Eureka are the Carson home (the 1865 gingerbread
mansion, beautifully kept up, of a lumber Baron) and the
old abandoned Gunther mansion on an island
a mile or so out into the bay. The latter looks
from shore like a gorgeous bat locality. Home 7 p.m.
Aug 16 Jacklighted after supper. Heard woodrats and saw cat-size
eyes on road at bridge east of camp but couldn't get
near it.
Aug 16 Only trapped specimen 1 Myotis longicauda in dry
pasture of grass-thistle, also 1 very rare M. Oregoni
near it. Drove from Big Sogoon to Mod River, stopping
at all likely looking bat roosts. Best ones were Big Sagoon
Bridge, abandoned store in center of Trinidad (Trinida), and mod
River Bridge 4 mi. N of Arcata. Only the latter had any bats,
all Epttarius
