PEARSON 1951-1952 April 10 One adult seen on area still, near a boundary. Today's take 3 juveniles, one of them wandering out on surface, caught by hand (3754). Shot a Pura Miner on the area, but only wounded (broken wing). It promptly ducked down a tree burrow. When I went up a dry gully ran down same burrow. I went off and got a shovel, came back, and started to dig, whereupon the bird appeared out of another hole a few feet behind me. All two caught here have red white pattern as stippled above. More complicated ff than 3754. Today's take of 3 juveniles makes a total of 28 weas taken, one known to remain. No sign of muskrat although the area on each side was heavily populated. In fact, even on far side seemed much more densely populated. Besides gopherjaps etc mentioned earlier, add to the associates: Throvecone, bumblebee, and the short-tailed Heptemurus spiron. Roughly Picked a 3-foot square area on the census plot with typical vegetation and dug up all the plants, lost an unknown amount of roots, perhaps 10 percent. Cleared off dirt roughly and stored the forest in a flour sack. Will have to wash in river to get clay-soil off roots. Most of census area has no vegetation more than 2 inch high. Nearby are areas of Festuca but these are only lightly or not at all populated by weas. My area is in the center of about 50 acres of similar terrain all heavily infected. The gopherjaps mostly around the edges. The panza here is a mile across. No weas
