O. P. PEARSON
1949
Aug. 31 New trapline caught 5 Peromyscus, 12 song sparrow,
and 3 Mueotus calif. Almost all near the ditch or stream.
Nothing in the dozen or so traps out in a fallow field
(Coarse grass and 1 ½ foot tall dead weed stubble).
Left at 11 for home via Acreata, Eureba. Route
299 to Acreata repeats the vegetational changes noted
in dropping down from French Camp to Weitelspee.
Decrease of broadome etc. with increased altitude,
improvement of Doug fir. Some riverine cedar as
at French Camp and some large patches of prairie.
There has been more lumbering, grazing, etc. along
the 299 route, however.
Stopped at Anita's two bat localities at Bayside
and Falka and caught one or Corycorhinus at
each. Also looked in a few more houses and
bridges in the Eureba region but found no bats.
Home 11 p.m.
