1957 Jan Mar.24 50 Sherma's in O'rocks pasture overnight, oatmeal, caught 1 Minerota and 9 Luthros. Banded and released the Luthros, none of them juveniles. Just grass and weeds but almost no runway or other minerot sign.

1957 Reason Nov. 28. Shasta Co. with Quay & L. Looked for gopher diggings along Redding-Burney road. Between Redding and Montgomery Creek saw only one collection of diggings; these in a green, grazed pasture. At Montgomery Creek found none in the big meadows and pastures near the school, east of the creek, but several good sites of mounds in a pasture near the center of town (south of road, west of creek). This was a green, grazed slope with pear tree and cow peas; turkeys & chickens scratching at gopher diggings. Soil red and coarse with some bed-rock exposures, but easy digging with spade. Left 7 traps, noon. More gopher diggings 2 mi. NE Burney. None seen between Montgomery Creek & Burnley except in a vacant lot in the center of Burney. Set about 13 gopher traps 2 mi. NE Burney in grassy glades among yellow pines. Soil red, coarse, containing gravel, but easy digging with moderate effort for 1-2 inches of frost. Nov. 29 noon. One gopher at Burnley and 2 at Montgomery Creek.

Saw 2 cats and 1 quater snake near grid. The rain of a week or two ago has caused some growth. A few seedlings are coming up among the conifer stolbs (some look like mustard seedlings), and oats are sprouting in ditches along the paved road and in a few other places where the water was concentrated.

The mikes with many fleas Covering scats: The recent flurry of scat-collecting was more thorough than before, but covered same area. As many as half the scats might have been over not found on the August search. Nevertheless, the 5 gobbone in August and 10 gobbone now must almost all have been defecated since the end of the rainy season, in fact most of them since the firebreaks were serped ending June 13. Unless the predators come from elsewhere to defecate preferentially on my scat-hunting area, then the 15 gobbone must represent the mammalian predator catch (minimum) since the rains on this area. In fact, should be a fairly close correspondence with end of breeding season - Hence the mice represented in these scats were not being replaced. Scats from O'Misha, Sept 11, contained 83 muskrat, 1 rabbit, 3 mus, 1 Rather, and one sorting the 1499 (odd mikes tagged June 24 at A2). Mostly adult mikes. Scats from O'Misha Sept 19: 10 mikes adult, 2 rabbits. Rether Moved trophy book one number at 5 p.m. Saw 2 cats.

Sept 30 Night clear. No dew on Tillion grass. Raven (marked inf) Traps at 7:30 a.m. Saw 3 cats.

Total 28 In eight traps set near Inspiration Point at 5 p.m. last night were 3 Minks and 3 Raccoon. Saved the 3 minks for dissection. Oct. 6 During the flotation-incineration process being used to separate game and ear tags from carnivore scat, most of the mole crickets are lost; and there have been numerous. Also lost are cormorants; there have been at least 3 so far. Cut sections of Mink's lungs. Those listed as "hemorrhagic" at dissection show in slides large areas in which the alveoli, all alveoli, are filled with acidophilic fluid (blood?). Frequently 1/2 the area of a section shows one lobe will be thus congested. Judging from the small air photos in Brant's thesis, I have been looking up scat from an area of about 40 acres. My grid is about in the center of this area. Oct. 9 Orvis. Picked up 6 owl pellets and a point of scat north of pasture. Owl pellets = 29 mole crickets, 19 Mink, 2 mm, 1 Peromyscus, and 1 rabbit.

(A) (B) and C, each one of the three. C, B, A. "1 " "2 " "3 " "1 " "2 " "3 " "1 " "2 " "3 " "1 " "2 " "3 " A is to C as D is to E. Therefore: C = A + B D = B + C E = A + D Thus, if we know any two of the three numbers, we can find the third. Let's say we are given A and B. Then C is found by adding them together. Once we have C, we add it to B to get D. Finally, we add A and D to get E.

(961) Oct 10. Watched a cat hunting in field north of pasture. It caught 2 mice in 5 minutes; ate both. at 4 p.m. picked all scats around Tilden Bend in anticipation of rain. Rather quickly covered the two main horizontal firebreaks and all of the sequoia trees.) Saw one or two cats and a sparrow hawk. Totaled about 1 1/2 gallons, at least half of them mice + new. Oct 11 Covered most of the rest of the scat trails in Tilden at 10:30-11:30 a.m. Yesterday's and today's totaled about 2 1/2 gallons, at least half new (since left. 26). Saw 3 cats, 1 red-tail, and (sparrow hawk near the girl (all on the 40-acre scat area). Oct 12 Dr DeCune looked at Meristine lungslide and was impressed at the extent of the hemorrhage, and noted an abundance of polymorphs in the larger blood vessels. Caught another meristine in the Turner's flower garden (presumably late of water + greens) and it too had hemorrhagic lungs. Oct 19 Final score on the left: .26 Tilden comprise scats: 966 meristine, 106 mice, 80 Rattus, 2 gophers, 18 lizards, 4 toads, 4 robins, 1 quail, 1 finch, many mole crickets. Only 1 cat tag (#1301, a 65-m. S. Rattus) tagged at K2 on Aug 23 and recaptured Aug 24 (J1), Aug 25 (J1), Aug 26 (K2) Of these, 83 meristine, 8 mice, and 4 Rattus and 1 robin (+mole crickets) were in scats picked up on the grid itself.

nov. 21 Drove to San Bruno, south of San Francisco, with Carl Wuer, Jewell Adams, and Al Stumpf, to see the Woe-Stump study area: Separated with islands of green weeds. The green and weeds (broad, thistle) are not as lush as Tilden or Crude this year, and it's a thin-leaved bunchgrass rather than date. On one of their 2 areas they are catching about 30 mice per 100 trap nights from a couple of thistles, no rats. On the other area a few hundred yards away, with more Baccharis and Phone, about 15 mice and 15 Peromyscus per 100 trap nights. They are getting a few weanling mice soon after no reproduction all summer. They say there were very few mice last Feb.?, and consider the population to be building up - unlike Crude and Tilden Parks. We saw Deer; they have seen wildcat (a few weeks ago) and gray fox. Coyotes may be there also. nov. 24 Several showers in past few days. In a.m. went to Tilden with family to look for tracks. Not enough snow, so picked up 1/2 pint of pellets on the grid and 3 gallons around the grid. More than half of the 3 gallons were not on firebreak, and so may not be recent. Many of the scat are disintegrating already. Saw 1 cat and 2 red-tails on the study area, and 2 cats in Muiny Triangle and 1 cat along Inspection Point - Crude road. Horned owls still on Crude area, and red-tails cat seen regularly south of Crude Pastures

Pearson 1961 The rains have probably collapsed many of the runways, which may be important in changing domain ranges. Scattered light showers during the day. Shifted traps to alternate sites at 4pm = 72 traps. Nov.30 Rain during the night and still raining A.M. Ran traps at 7:45 a.m.: 17 Buther, 1 mink, 3 mice. One of the minks was yesterday's tagged one. Eight of the Butther were untrapped ones! Maybe the rain has caused wandering? Dec.4 Picked up 2 gallons of scat on Tiller area plus 1/2 pint on the grid itself. Saw 3 cats on the area (white, gray, and black). Since I saw a yellow + white one on but meat, probably 4 cats or more are hunting on the area. Also saw a cat near upper end of Oriada - Instruction point road. Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the scats were out in the grass in areas not covered before. Covered only a little over half of the firebreak. Saw deer, dog, cat, and probably fox foot prints in mud. No skunk or raccoon. Dec.7 Oriada.

"I have been thinking about what I want to do next. It's not easy to decide because there are so many options. One thing is for sure: I don't want to waste any more time on something that doesn't bring me joy or fulfillment. So, I've decided to focus on my passion and pursue it with all my heart.

1961 also found 1 good large [illegible] under one of the Eucalyptus trees on the Tilden area. Desecrated it with jackknife on the spot: no contusions or obvious hemorrhages, lives OK, lungs hemorrhagic. I believe this is the only dead mouse found this summer & fall except for an old mummying.

June 4 Ran traps at 7 a.m. Sunny. 45 musters, 5 mus, and 0 Benthos. 9 of the mules were dead, almost all of these from the bottom 3 rows. The fewest mules were taken on the knoll where the grass, although short, is dense and has lots of seeds. Lots of mice in the pure thistle and pure canum. In the pure thistle is last year's grass and mustard stems. Closed traps at 7 a.m., opened at 7:30 p.m. June 5 Ran traps at 7 a.m. Sunny. 38 musters, 2 Benthos, 3 mus, and 1 Sorex. Closed traps at 7 a.m., opened at 8 p.m. Full moon. June 6 Sunny. Ran traps at 7 a.m. 46 musters, 3 Benthos, and 2 mus. Picked up traps, June 7 Picked up scale on main trail in Tiller, all got lower left Found 1 20-year dead & musters, dumped. Saw 2 Burbowline, 1 guthrie snake, 1 redtail, 0 scale, June 8. Rodochorus of Oviedo area. June 9. at 8 p.m. set Colburn 3 in Tiller and just 6 rows of Tiller grid (60 stems). Much of the area on the east

few weeks has become dominated by tall weeds (mostly flowering mustard and flowering carum). The loss of grassland to carum is especially impressive. Had trouble locating stakes in the carum at Jucke, hence didn't get all traps set. Cold windy foggy. June 10 Ran traps at 7:30 a.m. Calm, sunny. On the grid 26 mice and 7 leathers. Closed these traps but set every station in rows H,I,J,K. Colburn Lower had 12 mice and 1 leather; Upper Colburn line had 14 mice and 1 Leather. at 4 p.m. Colburn Lines held only 2 mice (both lower lines). The 40 thernons on grid held 10 mice and 1 Gerberovetus. Saw 1 garter snake and 1 large gopher snake, O cats; Shower at 6 p.m. [all traps in pairs at alternate stakes on grid = 100 traps] June 11 Rained overcast, grass wet [illegible] dried at 7:30 a.m. had 51 mice, 8 leather, 15 voles, 1 Pero monerovetus, 1 Gerberovetus. Lower Colburn had 8 mice and 1 Leather; Upper Colburn 10 mice and 1 deerfoot. Found 1 dead mongolyp gopher in trail. O cats but 1 fresh droppings since yesterday. Closed grid traps. at 8 p.m. moved grid traps to alternate stakes (100 traps in pairs) at row upper Colburn Line (=6 micratus, nothing else . Saw 0 cats. June 12 Picked up grid traps at 8 a.m., slightly foggy, then sunny. 54 mice, 8 leather, 1 Pero murive. Saw no cats.

Found 1 dead mule deer [illegible] under dam. No bulldozing yet. June 26 Picked up more scats; lots around Sequoia trees. Grass around lower Sequoias has been mowed. 0 cats. July 7 Watched mustelids from tower in Orinda Pasture in evening. Lots of activity about 8 PM when wind died down. Sometimes 3 or 4 in view at SAME time, frequently within 2 feet of each other, but no fights; heard no squealing, never no fights. Mostly they just nose over and through the vegetation, a few nibbled at greens (thistle), a couple climbed briefly a few meters into thistle. In many places the ground is drifted with sterile Canada thistle seeds and the mustelids blow through them like snow plows. Makes them more visible. Considerable mustard still in bloom. July 8 More mouse watching at 8 am, much activity. Picked up scats in Tiller at 3-5 PM on main trails. No bulldozing yet; mustard still blooming, common greenish-yellow daisies blooming on field roads. Saw 3 smoke skins (myxitis). 1 dead skunk, large colony of new grass. No cats.

1963 Reserve July 16 picked up notes on major tribes in Tilders, no bulldozing yet, lots of daisies flowering in trails, very little mustard still flowering, conium still greenish (red yellow), saw no cats, 1 pr final with young. July 17 watched from tower in pasture at 8 p.m., some mustard still flowering, Canada thistle almost dry, fig thistle still green, as well as bristly oaks tongue. Evening was cool and breezy, saw only 1 merotina briefly, but saw at least two mice several times. On one occasion there was a vigorous chase between two mice for about 15 feet, another? mouse covered several yards by moving along fallen weeds 6" or more above ground. During several observing periods lately, I have frequently seen 2 or more merotina within a foot or two of each other, but only one actual contact (face grooming). No chasing, and no squeals, hence no "fights". They are stripping the basal leaves of the big thistle; a browse line about 1 foot up on one of the thistles. One mouse climbed up onto a truncated thistle stalk about 8 inches high and nibbled at the mowed tops. I can find no trace of the top of this plant, so presumably all eaten. July 18 watched mice 7:45 to 8:45 p.m. (DST) in pasture, no wind, lots of mice, sometimes 5 in view at one time. On one occasion a mike was eating a thistle head on the ground, a half-grown mike came up beside it in contact (no scenting), and a third mouse was up in the thistle plant above them, a half-grown one extended considerable grooming around the base of the big thistle from which they have been stripping

leaves - like killing the goose. Breeze line on this plant has been going up about an inch per day and is now more than 1 foot high was surprised to see mice several times up in a big thistle cutting green leaves. Also saw a snake growing the "trunk" of a blooming mustard plant. Saw one brief microtus chase, silent. The mice move more softly, more steadily, more "purposefully" than the snake. Most activity is about 8:15, which is after sunset but before bat-flying time. Kneba reports on his census of his Tilden control area: "Last week caught 315 microtus on the 1 +/- acre, up considerably from 2 wks. before. Rat 450/acre +/- 10%." Breeding now 90% stopped on control" i.e. more mice than ever before!" July 22 Watched mice in pasture with Bill Hamilton at 8 p.m. He saw a snake chase off a mouse (possibly Rathus, but almost surely microtus). July 23 Picked up seats in Tilden. No cats seen. No bulldozing yet. Heard loud, insistent squeaking near a log and saw a large garter snake carrying off a 10-grain, squeaking microtus. July 25 Picked up seats in Tilden. Saw one of each, 1 garter snake, occasional deriforme, two cats. Aug. 5 Watched mice from tower in pasture at 8 p.m. Still lots of snake and a few mice seen. Big thistle all dry (or stripped) now. Mice are barking lustily at tongue. Heard no fighting. Two young born owls squealing and

1963 learn snepping, plus an adult. Aug. 9 Picked off scats on main trails in Tidden: 5 pta, about half of them in a half dozen piles at the north end of the aven, a place that has been productive on earlier visits this year. Saw several mice and deefgs, two racers, no cats, commin being grown around base. No thumbs. Aug. 11 Picked up scats & pellets in Orinda Pasture. Haven't seen any cats there for months. Watching four towers reveals lots of mice and a few mus in evening and morning, not in middle of day. Saw 3 20-gram young feeding on one green thistle plant at same time, plus a fourth only a foot or so away. Still no fighting (except once at the rolled oats in an exercise wheel when one mouse chased another away accompanied by squealings). At least 2 mice tried to get at the oatmeal by squeezing under the wheel instead of merely stepping into it. Aug. 19 At 5 p.m. set Tidden Bird, every stake = 100 traps. Hot, lots of runways and white marks & droffings. Saw 3 mus or rather while setting at 2 miles. Commin still a triple green, a few thistles still green, but mostly dry. Saw 1 copper bowl on Inspronto Point - Orinda Rd and two red-tails over Tidden area, no cats. Picked off scats along upper Colburn Line (almost none) and on grid. Aug 20 Ran traps at 8 a.m. Sunny, no dew. 62 mice, 15 lether, and 1 mus , = 78 mice ! 1 DIT. Closed traps. Saw no cats, mice seemed in good condition, no scars, soile when handled. Opened traps at 5 p.m., 1 pair at alternate stations = 100 trap

Pearson 1963 Aug 21 Saw scrubjuncos and sharp-shins? banks, sunny. No cats. Ran traps at 7:30 a.m. Sunny. Saw 2 Sparrow larks and 1 red-tail, no cats. Traps held 76 microurine, 6 leithro, and 1 Leioforms = E 85. From the large number of recaptures of June and earlier microurine, it is clear that survival has been good, almost no traps in droppings. Furthermore, from the huge catches and the very few recaptures of yesterday's tagged mice, the population must be enormous. No young, no nesting &?, no open vagina. Picked up seats in P.M. Found one very dead microurine at 5pm on trail. Saw 1 black cat, moved traps to alternate site, 1/2 hr. at each = 100 traps, Sunny. Aug 22 Ran traps at 8 a.m., overcast. 77 microurine, 11 Leithro, and 1 musa = E 89 mice. Finished picking up seats. Found 1 dead snake, 1 dead leithro, and the incisors and front of skull of [illegible] a recently-eaten gopher. Saw 1 dark cat, Keifer is trying to catch raccoons on his area. Many chutecks of quail this year on the Tilden area and every- where in Orinda. Musing of the microurine are huge and few of them are under 30 gms. Average out, probably 40-45g. Aug 27-28 To Brooks Island overnight with Carol. Set 66 Museum Specials and 60 Forquoth live traps at 6 p.m. Night mostly clear, high fog until 9 a.m. Caught 33 microurine in Museum Specials and 32 in live traps, saw numerous rats, even upon ridge, and 1 garter snake.

1963 Sept. 4 Picked up scats in Tilden at 10 a.m. Low fog. Found 1/2 meisters running on trail, saw no cats. Saw about 4 meisters. Watched mice from tower in Orinda pasture at 7:15 p.m. Cloudy but calm, saw numerous meisters, no fights or squeaking. Have seen no mice there for several weeks. Horned owls always there evenings. Tonight, even at late dusk, two red-tails circling high and screeching and diving at each other. Sept. 7 Picked up scats in Tilden. Saw several meisters, many lizards (Geckos) both large and tiny, two red-tails one of which caught a mouse and ate it while I watched, one sparrow hawk, one large gopher snake, large corey of grain, and two cats on my area (one white, grey, red tan; other grey striped). Also smelled skunks. May have failed to mention squashed striped skunk on road along north edge of my area about 3 weeks ago. Covered about half of Tilden this collection. Sept. 12 about 1/2 inch grain. Sept. 19 Picked up scats in Tilden at 4 p.m.. Saw lots of mice and small lizards, 2 red-tails, 1 wood mouse. Saw cats. Many of the mice were near tar weed and way to eating the seeds, which are now ripe. The mice looked smaller. No new green vegetation, but around the sequence where the grass was mowed last spring, there is now quite a bit of mustard flowering. Like second cut alfalfa? Watched from Orinda tower at 7:15 p.m. Saw only

Person 1963 One mouse, a Mike, and how zen very few on other visits to the tower in the past 3 weeks. Have heard owls nightly. Sept 23 Picked up scats in Tilden; collection includes 2 pers gibbon rostrum. No cats, Sparrow hawks. Set 4 & Sherman at Saguaro Point at 4 p.m. Sept 24 Traps held 13 mice and 12 lizards, no males or females breeding. Avg weight of minks 29 grams. Sept 28 At 5:30 p.m. saw cat moving Saguaros in Tilden area. Black with dark brown blotches. Watched 5-10 minutes. Saw 1 prince, he caught 1 mouse. Sept 29 Took photos of Tilden area. Picked up a few scats. Saw no cats. Oct.7 Picked up scats at 3:30 p.m. in Tilden. Saw a few mice, plus 3 robins, 1 sparrow hawk, big coy grail, 1 or 2 cats, 1 dead mouse under sequoia tree, 1 dead tomcat, 1 dead shrew. There is a white powder around the base of most of the sequoia trees. Several of the upper sequoias are being girdled and trimmed by mice. Mr Knight was flustering around the trees when I left at 5, possibly distributing poison. Set 100 shrimps, every station on grid. Found only two scats on grid. Sunny, warm. Oct.8 Ran traps at 7:30 a.m., cloudy but warm. 45 minutes and 22 lizards. Left rows A and B open but closed others. Done traps with five lizards or mice morning with ants; maybe looking for sugar in wine? Picked up more scats. Saw 2 sparrow hawks, no cats. Found 9 dead minks.

When my poor old boy came down from north and south to visit all stations with him. All the children met us, and I noticed how he looked at himself. It was nice. I thought of his own mother's death. I had a good time with him. He seemed to be enjoying it. His wife said: "You are not so bad after all." We went together to the station. He was very happy. He told me about his life. I felt sorry for him. He was not able to remember much. He had been in a hospital before. He was not able to speak clearly. He said he was tired of being ill. He wanted to go home. He asked if I would take him there. I said yes, but he could not walk. He needed help. He said he was sorry for his wife. She was very kind to him. He thanked her for everything. He said he loved her very much. He wanted to see her again. He said he would write to her soon. He said he hoped she would come back.

on the trails, some of them rummies, some torn in half, some entire. Not near the sequoias. Each sequoia now has a thin sprinkling of rolled oats near the base, about a heaping tablespoon, spread out, near each. In the gutter where Mr. Knights' car was parked was a gummed label from a container of grain poisoned with zinc phosphide, prepared by Contra Costa & Part of Agrie. The 20 traps in zones A and B held 4 mice/otter, used alternate traps to shift stations so that now there are 100 traps in pairs at alternate stations. Mr. Knights was poisoning again at 5 p.m., I watched for about 10 minutes. He went from tree to tree carrying a no. 2 1/2 can of grain, tossing a pinch here and a pinch there, not just at trees but various places between them. Found 1 dead spotted towhee, no deer mice. Saw no cats. Oct 9 Sprinkled overnight, but warm. Run traps at 7:30 a.m., 52 mice/otter, 14 Red-tails, and 2 Perro catarrhine, saw 1 large garter snake, no cats. saw 1 dead mouse near sequoias, probably a poisoned one, Traps closed. at 4:30 p.m. moved pairs of traps to alternate sites, 100 saw Sparrow hawk and red-tail, no cats.

Pearson 1963 redtail, no cats. No dead mice near Squawies. Oct. 11 Rain much of last night, probably enough to sprout vegetation. Looked around Squawies again but still no dead mice, Oct. 15 more rain. Oct. 16 Lots of grass sprouting in Orinda. Oct. 23 Picked up scats in Tilden. Lots of grass sprouting and decate. Found one dead mule deer (fur around had met). Saw no cats, no live mice, numerous lizards. Oct. 25 Picked up scats in Tilden. Saw 1 tabby cat, several new mole runs. No live mice. Oct. 27 Picked up scats. No cats seen. Oct. 31 First frost Nov. 11 Picked up scats, no good concentrations. Saw 1 redtail, 1 sparrow hawk, no cats. Nov. 25 Picked up scats. Saw 1 skunk, 1 black cat on minute slope, several mole runways. Nov. 26 Picked up scats, saw 1 sparrow hawk, no cats. Nov. 27 Looked for scats briefly, no cats. Krebs reports for his control area "about 150/acre Nov. 16 ging down steadily. No growth, no breeding yet." data Nov. 16 Nov. 29 Set 72 shavers in Orinda pasture, every other station on grid (= 10 yds part) at 4 p.m. Much of the green vegetation is again weeds (common, mustard, thistles). In some of the weedy places there are numerous square feet with no new vegetation coming up, and lots of areas with no grass. Of the two mouse exclosures, the upper one (in weedy selected) has weeds coming up about as

in the surrounding area, but also scattered grass (coats?) which is absent from the surrounding area. The lower enclosure in a grassy area seems similar to surroundings. Few good runways, but quite a few active- looking holes, especially up on top of the knoll where it is grassy and where mice are ordinarily scarcest (shallow soil). Nov. 30 Full moon. Morning foggy. Ran traps at 8 a.m. 2 shrews, 2 micrastura, and 6 Rattus. No signs of breeding, all adults or none of them tagged ones. Judging by signs there are more micrasturus present than this. Dogs found lots of places to dig, and they caught one mice while I was running my traps. a brush rabbit at home was sitting amidst lush new grass eating leaves that have fallen from a flowering peach tree, some of the leaves yellow. Set Calburn live in Tilden (Col. 3) = 120 museum specials baited with peanut butter, at 4 pm, saw only about 2 fairly fresh runways. One red-tail. One bobcat near the botanical garden. Sunny, but a bitter cold wind was blowing fog in from inland. Dec 1-3 Ran traps at 8 a.m., cold, light fog. In lower Calburn 1 Rattus; Upper Calburn 1 Rattus, 1 mice, 3 Peromyscus maniculatus, and (garden crowns). Saw copper lamb and jackrabbit on the area, plus a jack rabbit dead on Dana Road.

(1964 Pearson Feb. 16 Examined lower ½-inch wire enclosure in Orinda pasture. Feets of oats, geranium, 1 Rumex, no mustard, surrounding is oats & geranium and a little mustard. Not much different. Upper enclosure contained about equal number of mustard, coriander, and oats; a few geraniums. Outside is mustard and coriander but no oats or grasses. The survival of oats inside the enclosure is completely convincing. Feb. 17 as many as 6 brush rabbits seen sometimes while driving down our driveway. 2 mice/graze on lawn frequently, usually when crow sparrows are grazing also. They frequently come within 1 foot of each other, but pay no attention. Twice I have seen a pale cat on the Orinda X-roots island. Quite saw a dark black & brown cat on Krebs area yesterday. Feb. 18 at 4 P.M. (sunny) set Calhoun Col 3, 120 sunflower seeds with peanut butter. Only 1 or 2 runaways seen. No cuttings or droppings. One sparrow broke, no cats. Inspected the "firebreak transect" described March 21, 1963. This year, downhill from the firebreak where nothing grew last spring, there are lots of oats, mustard and coriander. Feb. 19 Night clear, some wind, no dew. Traps held 1 Jerusalem cricket, 0 mice.

Person 1964 april 6 a graduate student found Fravie studying quail in a 100' x 100' enclosure in the Behavior Station. soy's he has recently trapped "at least a hundred" mice mice in his enclosure. zoo 113 class reports almost none in Strawberry Canyon. Fravis gives the quail some feed, but says they live mostly on vegetation at this time of year. april 10 Talked with various people in Tilden Park about Carnivores: (1) 2 gardeners in Botanical Garden, one of them a former Fish & Game employee. They say park has been controlling cats and killed at least 17 near the nature area not long ago. They like them in the gardens to keep quailers down. They have seen no coyotes or wildcats. (2) A Ranger at Broyland Room. He came on the job in 1961 and says there was no cat control that year but that there has been recently. Sees no coyotes or bobcats. (3) Mr Parler, ranger naturalist at the nature area. says he has been here 15 years and that only this winter have they controlled cats. Claims to have seen tracks and droppings of coyote & bobcat. Knows of no shrunk control by various people. (4) Marge --, assistant at the nature area. she did some phoning around and learned from Mr Nelson (superintendent?) that they have killed

[illegible] [illegible]

22 cats in the last year, all between the Nature Area and the Bragilair Room, mostly near the buildings, and "none near my area". April 17 A phone call from Mr Nelson, director of the nature program in Tilden Park, disclosed the following information about cat control in the park: 15 cats were shot by the Ranger Patrol in August, September, and October of 1963, 5 of them in nature area, 3 on archery range, 2 at Fern Picnic area, and the other 5 at various places between the playfield and the train ride. This information came mostly from Ranger Gonza, who did most (or all?) of the cat control control. In addition to these, there were about 9 killed or removed from the nature study area by the naturalists at the same time = 24 from within 1 1/2 miles of my area. April 20 Put 100 mouse boards on Tilden Grid at 3 p.m. Date lush, no good runways but several piles of cuttings. Lots of redwings. Saw no cats x Talked with Jim Roof in Tilden Botanical Garden. He says they planted thousands of privet in 1939 but mice killed all of them. He planted thousands more in 1940, many of which have survived (to his disgust). He protects cats in botanical gardens. Says he arranged a cat control in = 1947 and that

there was a big mouse plague the next year, so he has opposed cat control measures. Has seen no wildcat or coyote for many years, but used to see lots of grey jays, sometimes sick ones. Jays' fates are still present. Jays golf course people used to poison shrubs routinely and he assumes they still do, April 21 Ron traps at 8 a.m.: 10 minotaur and 2 foxes. Left all traps set except the 10 mule trap, saw no cats. at 4 p.m. traps held 2 mules and 1 German hound. Picked up every other trap, leaving 50. No cats seen. April 22 at 7:30 a.m. traps held 3 mules, nothing else. Left all except those three set. Cloudy. Lots of mustard throwing on area and on hill beyond Sleepy Hollow. no cats seen at 3 p.m., saw no cats, traps held 1 minotaur and 2 German hounds. Saw 2 other German hounds. also saw qjfisher smoke yesterday. Shifted traps (50) to alternate sites, Graduate student Jim Nee, who is watching cats near Krebs' area in Tilden, says he talked with people at the nature area in January or February, told them he was planning to study cats, and they said that in that event they had better stop shooting them, thereby implying that they were still killing cats through the winter (as implied by Parker when I talked with him). He also found a dead cat at that time stuffed into one of the picnic stores

any thistles, almost all mustard, much of my girl area is this year pure mustard, about 6 ft. tall. In the middle of this sea of mustard are occasional rounds a few feet in diameter where avena has grown up and been cut down by mice, leaving "stumps" and clean earth. My two enclosures have been entered by mice. The lower one, in grass (but little oats), is about the same inside as out, except inside is one bunch, none outside. The upper enclosure, surrounded by pure mustard, contains some mustard and about 20 big avena stalks (several of which have been cut). This is the only area for yards around. June 3 Ran walks at 7:30 a.m. 13 mice/otter (more tiny, several big qq but only one with open nostrils), 4 bantam (39 than young of year), and 1 mus.

1965 Pearson Sept. 25 Walked on my area in Tilden Park with Brian Fitzgerald. Seed grass cover this year, lots of mouse runways and mouse unburied, and lots of scats of carnivores. Saw a bobcat? bowl, no cats. July & August had lots of fog with fog flowing over the hilltops, no real hot spells. Ground under the pine grove at the top of my area was quite damp. Sept. 27 at 4 p.m. put about 25 mouse specials across Kube area in Tilden with Prof. Solador, and about 25 along the stream above the playing field in Tilden. Saw no cats on my area but one near playing field. Sept. 28 at 9 a.m. traps held (in field) only 1 milks and 1 Burtners. Along the stream 1 Pero calif, 2 trui, and 2 maniculatus. David Oudogus, a student working as a ranger in Tilden, says that they are again shooting cats "to increase the number of quail". Sept. 29 Put out the Colburn boxes in Tilden. Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. hot, saw 1 gray cat on my area. Boart futter. Ben traps at 8 a.m., and at 4 p.m. Oct. 1 Ben traps at 8 a.m. but not in pm.

Nov.7 First rain, about 1/2 inch. Leaves begin to come out again on some of the oaks stripped by oak moths. This was a big oak-moth year. Oscar Pairs says that muntjacs were very abundant at the Russell Tract farm in Lafayette a year ago (that is, summer of 1964). Nov.9 Picked up scats on left hand end of the area, lots! No doubt some were once overlooked at last collection, but many fresh ones. Saw 2 cats: a yellow striped one apparently too big to be one of the 2 patterns seen in October, and a black one with inconspicuous orange brown spots. When seen, the black one was following the yellow one across the skyline first trail. Also found 1 very dead grey and white one - dead at least 2 weeks. also 1 deer, 1 redtail, and 1 Cooper banks. Numerous jacky gopher diggings. Also found an empty, small carton of mouse poison pellets.

hundred yards of old trail had been scraped so recently as to destroy any scat that might have been [illegible] found on them. Saw cover of young quail on area; some grasshoppers. 3 bundles of bird feathers, 50 sets of gopher diggings. Total collection of scat = 1.3 lbs., containing grasshoppers plus 10 minnow, 1 beaver, 1 lizard, 1 bird, and 3 gophers. July 30 Went for walk along ridge above my Tidden area and saw that 5 to 10 acres of the southwest corner of my area have been disked disced or bulldozed. aug 25 Went to Jersey Island in the Delta with Davis and Lynde. Study area is ± 200 acres of pasture with cattle. Grass green, lush, thick, excellent microtine cover. at 6:30 a.m. there were several barn owls, several short- eared owls, 2 or more marsh hawks, and about 20 biters hunting over the pasture. Put out 38 Sherman (rolled oats) and 42 Musser traps (cornmeal) at 7:00 a.m. Some mouse sign, but not a lot. The cover is so thick that there are few "offroad" runways. Didn't see any place with more than 1 foot of [illegible] runway visible. In the mud along the river saw tracks of coon, opossum, rat; and along the road, cat + dog. Watched biters catching microtine with rapidity and ease, 3/4 lbs of their stoops were successful. Talked with the owners (Holsey) who were quite knowledgeable, interested, and cooperative. at 11 a.m. the traps held 1 musk (parasite & methoxen copia

and captured but not eating). Incredible that the refugia were catching so many while the traps caught only 1 ! 20FT.7 With Sallupin and Carol to peregrine in the Delta, arrived at a.m.. 24 hawks perched or flying over the area, plus 1 marsh hawk and 1 barn owl. Saw traps with Arnez + gim Lynch = a few minutes. 20FT.13-14 To Zogelen Creek with Kopods to see Fitzgerald meadows area. Arrived 1 p.m., stayed overnight, apt room. Night clear, 20°F, light frost with heavy crystalline frost on the grass above each open meadow burrow. This mead country often becomes very easy and reveals many that would have been missed. There were hundreds on this grid where (oo ?) traps caught only 1 mink and 1 Pero, so it must not reflect occupied burrows only. There are considerable differences in mouse densities in different meadows, and striking differences in composition & density of cover of different parts of the same meadow (due to soil ?, drainage ?, spring flooding ? etc.). With such a short growing season, a week or two difference in snow melt or drainage in the spring can make a big diff in production and even species composition. This has been a very dry summer. Did fresh beaver cuttings at home at one of Dave Taylor's sites. They have cut almost every aspen for hundreds of yards of stream. They catch on relatively little.

1966 VP Rearden Sept. 17 Bulldozer working on the Tilden study area. About 1/4 of the area completely scoured (lower right looking from road) after clearing the 2nd horizontal trail. All remaining sequoials have been disbled. Sept. 27 drove around in the country east of the San Pablo reservoir looking for barn owls. Several "good" barns and old buildings but no pellets or signs of owls. One rancher in a "perfect" location said he hadn't seen any owls for years. Also no bat sign. Forgot to note that morning of Sept. 18 Carol and I counted >47 cultures in a eucalyptus tree at the south end of the San Pablo Reservoir! Oct. 2 Heard first golden crowns. Oct. 9 Put up a barn owl nest box on Coleman property in Orinda. Oct. 10 At 4:30 p.m. set out the upper calver line on my study area in Tilden. The lower line has been mostly full-dozed away for the new golf course. Bulldozers still working, but probably for eroding away so that they will not affect the mine. No mice anyhow, saw no runways, no nests, no urine whitewash. One black cat dead on road near the sequoias, one sparrow-hawk hunting over the area, 2 red-tails sparring in air, and 1 deer. Fog coming in as I was setting. Oct. 11 A.M. overcast. Traps held 1 Rattera. P.M. traps held nothing. Saw on the area 1 cat (black with brown saddle). Picked up scats on the part of the area not bulldozed.

1966 Pearson Oct. 12 Overcast. Traps held (Rathtro). Didn't run them in PM. but an owl nest box in a cypress tree about a mile north of the Briosa Valley School. Owner of the ranch says no owl's around, land owned by water company. [=0.8 mi NW Briosa Valley School] Oct. 13 morning clear and dry. One Rathtro in traps. Saw covey of >15 quail on the area. Summary of cotes on the upper Colburn line (60 traps at 20 stakes) - 3 Ratthros, (one each night). Total scat collection = 3 1/2 qtr (>1 qt along upper line) Oct. 19 Put an owl nest box in an oak and one off left in the west farm on the Nunes ranch 2 mi W Briosa Valley School. Both in this farm.

The munters and thrills still dominate the Pastures, the 1/2 inch mesh ef closures is almost all needed, but a few oate. These are the only oats used for several yards around: April 19 Set 80 Sherman baited with oatmeal and plus a few drops of Sofflower oil along the edge of Sobornin marsh and put into marsh along the Jones Point Road about 5 miles NW of Valleyo at 4:45 pm. Clear and cool. Saw no Minotres sign while setting (and very little dust during when we turned over boards near here). At 6:30 p.m. 4 mmz (3/4 them best). At 8:30 1 mmz and 6 Ratther. At 10 pm 2 Ratther (clear, 1/2 moon). At midnight 3 Ratther at 1 Sores. At 3 am 4 Ratther, 2 Sores, 1 mmz, 1 Minotrias (about 20 grams). At 5:30 a.m. 4 Ratther.

1967 Rearranged July 8 To Hastings Reservation with Carol and Judy Johnsons. At 7 p.m. put 32 Sherman traps on the edge of grass-elm trees on top of School House Hill. This included about 5 traps on a branch line extending down into "pine" elm trees. There is a fringe of deer weed (yellow-flowered legume) around this and other patches of clover, as well as occasional deer weed scattered through the elms. Enough forbs and grasses in the elms to provide food for mice. Weather clear, not hot, no moon. July 9 Traps at 8:30 a.m. held 5 Peromyscus truei (3 adult ♀♀ with corys, muffs, and 2 adult ♂♂). One of them was about 15 yrs in, the rest around the edge. Released all. Elms were blooming. There was an enormous quantity of rabbit droppings near the brush-grass interface. I saw no rabbits but Verbeek & Carol saw one and agreed that it was a brush rabbit, not a cottontail like those common around the buildings. Perbeeks cared study easily by using drift fences with traps opening in them. July 10 Put out offer salmon flies in Tilden Park at 5:30 p.m. (60 museum specials + peanut butter). Deer, not hot, new moon. Lush grass cover (all dry) but no microtine sign and almost no carnivore droppings. July 11 Morning clear, no fog. At 8:10 a.m., ran traps with Diane Walter and Carolyn Cavalier. 2 springing, rest untouched. Ants or pillbugs over all.

Set up a 2 x 2 yd. exclusion (1/2" burlap cloth with plastic strip) in the field across the creek from Long Field, then we buried 18" deep to exclude moisture. Nearly set up another similar exclusion but wire not buried. Sept. 13 Staked out a single Colburn line in the same field, another through chains on Haystack Hill (10 stakes) and along the chain-grass boundary (10 staked), and a third line through "blue" oak woodland on Schoolhouse Hill above Davis' lizard area. Saw almost no moisture sign in the exclusion field, none in the woodland, but numerous "nests" in the grass on Haystack Hill. Very few carnivore droppings seen except for one concentration of 20 or 30 on Haystack, Oct. 8 Orinda. Put 22 Sherman at 6 p.m. along the fence between our pasture and Fitzgerald's. Dear mom, at 9:30 p.m. they held 3 Peromyscus (all released). Oct. 9, at 7 a.m. traps held 2 Peromyscus and 1 Ratlers and 1 Mus., left the mus. No sign of moisture.

(1 Sorah/pacificus and about 8 Peromyscus), 12 minutes (1 Sorah pacificus and about 6 Peromyscus), 2:30 (1 Sorah townsendii and 1 S. vocans or townsendii plus about 6 Pero), and at 5:15 a.m. (about 5 Peromyscus). The Pero were released at time of collection expected for about 10 of the earlier ones. Oct-14 Pitched up same line at about 9 a.m., no more there. Half of the traps were baited (alternately) with rolled oats and half with rolled oats plus siphonace oil. At 10:30 p.m. when going to re-baiting with straight oats, we stuffed corn; the score was about 15 to 16. Left at noon and drove to mouth of Elk Creek 2 mi. SSE Elk where we set traps in grassy-weeping meadow meadow bordered by blackberry, thimbleberry, alders, squawroot, thistle, nettles etc. Numerous Muscardine running when we set at 1:30 p.m. Ran traps about 3:30 and had 1 Sorah vocans and 2 big mice. Ran traps every 2 1/2 hrs and caught large numbers of Peromyscus maniculatus (about 10-15 each run), a few Batherson, and a few mice plus one more Sorah vocans dead in the trap. Oct 15. Pitched up traps about 8 a.m. and set in two saw-grass buck-grass areas near Altman and Weberina. Caught many Muscardine (about 8) in one of the places with about 25 traps, but no shrews (set between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.)

Oct. 28 Academy, Fresno Co., Calif. Arrived with class about 12:30 Pm and started setting gopher traps near the cemetery ½ mile NW of Academy. Soil mostly hard red, but some very sandy & gray near the river (flowing). Very little recent gopher signs, but made perhaps 15 good sets. Then looked at the Granite Quarry (only one good set of red soil) and the Blue Ridge Ranch (½ mi NE Academy) where a new Bermuda grass lawn had some good diggings (light fluffy gray soil) and where a very hard red wheat? field had a few good diggings. Set about 15 traps at these places about 3 Pm, and two or three 4 along another road ¼ mi N Academy. At 5:30 pm T J Shemans (rolled oats) along the grassy-weedy edges of the wash and around a corral. Saw lots of ground squirrels. Since morning coming with lots of locusts and other insects flying but saw no bats or owls. Oct. 29 We ended up with 20 gopher traps set near the cemetery, most in hard red soil but some in soft gray or even pure sand. Caught only one gopher in these (8:1 in gray soil just in front of camper). One in red soil was sprung with hair. At Blue Ridge Ranch the 15 traps caught 4 gophers, all in gray soil with green grass. 5 Lemniscate wont traps light maneuver At 8:30 set traps in a green meadow along a creek 1½ mi NE of Academy (dark gray soil) and about 15 traps along the road SW of Academy.

1967 1 o'clock we had 2 more gophers in the window NE of Academy and 1 NW of Clouse. Then home. nov. 10 Hastings Reservation with Peter Griffin next to the Colburn lines between 3:15 and 5:30. Saw no moisture sign along the grass Colburn line + Spider hunting after supper. nov. 11 Ran traps at 7 a.m. with the class, 7 spring-migrates on the chaparral line, 6 in the shadow, and 2 in the oaks. For various cotes see later. Night was clear, warm, half full moon (1). Griffin says no acorn in our woodland this year but probably some last year. Checked + re-baited traps at 4 p.m. Only cote was one [illegible] mouse on the edge of the chaparral at Sta. 17. Saw a lodger on the way back from traps and a grey for while Spider-hunting after darks. nov. 12 Ran traps at 7 a.m. (night overcast, warm). See below for cote. 5 spring-migrates on chaparral line and 2 in oak woodland. Overcast all day. Checked traps at 4 p.m. In the chaparral line were a [illegible] thich at Station 17 and a golden crown sparrow at Sta. 18. About 40 migrates at dusk flew into the oaks on the west side of School Hill. As I was walking along the fence under the power line 100 yards west of the pump at the bottom of Haystacks hill, I noticed a patch of somewhat green Elymus grass and thought it would be where I would be living if I were a mouse.

Peon 1967 In three days we have not seen a single mistletoe dropping or soliturnal, but in this patch of Elymus were lots of runways and fresh droppings. A few runways I sort of run as much as a yard or so out into the surrounding dry oats, but little if any signs beyond that distance. The patch of Elymus is about 5 x 10 yards and is completely isolated from any habitat other than dry grass-meadow. John Davis says this patch has been there for years + years. There are some patches of a different perennial grass (broad, sharp- edge leaves with long upright seed heads) at the creek edge of our Grass-Columbian meadow, and I saw a few Mistletoe signs in those. Nov. 13 Down traps at 6 a.m. (still dark). Slight drizzle for part of night, but grass not wet. Picked all traps.

Hastings Reservoir Feb 10 Put 39 shermans baited with oats in the grassland parallel with the Colburn line, 3:30pm. Some runways at north end but none at south end. The field above the water/pumps (especially the end near the island of Elymus) is riddled with immature swanep and fresh droppings. Surely several hundred more there now where there were none in November. The Elymus itself doesn't seem to be as green as it was in November and doesn't seem to have any more runways than in November. No runways over the fence in the grazed pasture. The cover is denser in the Elymus pastures than in the Colburn pastures. along the open ridge leading up to our oak Colburn line are lots of immature sign (among Stipa) and even some fresh runways in the grass under the oaks near the oak Colburn line.

At 7:30 am. traps held 5 Pero manic, 1 Pero boyleri (last trap before choparol, tail ripped while being removed from trap), 2 Heathros, and 2 Soreft armatus. Kept the shrews and 1 Pero manic. At 2 PM (mostly overcast) traps held 2 adult moeritus. June 6 Al French set 70 shermans below the white road at Inspiration Point in Tucker Park and caught no Moeritus, 1 old male Berthos, and 2 juvenile Berthros. A couple of nights earlier 70 traps had caught no Berthros.

1968 June 7 Hastings Reservation. Weather cool. With John Delfs at Carol set the 3 Colburn lines beginning at 3:30, [illegible] Lots of meadow runners at the north end of the meadow lines; lots of dragonflies, [illegible], whiteheads, one runner at station 20 in the oak woodland. While setting the chaparral line Sam from Touroche and Benichi were well back in the Administration. June 8 Night overcast, Scotch mist, grass wet. (Cats are almost all dried off.) Some of the greenest patches are places where the boys had started earlier. [illegible] Run traps beginning at 6 a.m. Oak woodland had 1 Pero maniculatus and 2 spring emity; meadow had 1 meustus, 1 keithra, 6 Pero maniculatus, and 4 spring emity. Chaparral line had 5 Pero trui, 1 Pero maniculatus, 2 Dipsa, and 7 spring emitys. Saw 2 or 3 meustus while using the traps including one coming out onto the road several times. In addition, 2 were feeding at the back door of the Davis house & I got the impression that the meustus peaks in the fields may be past. In the bunch-grass field going after the oak woodland line, there is less meustus sign now than there was during the winter. During the afternoon installed garbage can screen collectors along the Oak line; at 4 p.m., checked the meadow line and it held 1 stubby meustus + [illegible] Carol & plum ran the chaparral line at 7:30 p.m. and at

1968 June 9 Ladd 1 wren-tit, 1 Bench warner, and 1 spring euphity, Both birds were back in the clofarsl, not on the edge. right alternately clear & cloudy, some dew but not as much as yesterday. Traps lines at 6 a.m. as follows: Oak woodlnd - no mice, 1 spring euphity woodon - 3 mice, 1 Pero manic, 2 spring euphity. clofarsl - 2 Dipo, 2 trues, 1 spring euphity. Finished installing the garbage cans for acorns. The system was as follows: put a can 6 feet "north" of each stake on the trap line, effect in 3 instances. there was no possibility of catching any acorns at that presented spot, so no can was left there (or, an imaginary can was left there). Then, garbage cans were put at locations 18 feet "south" of each trap-line stake, beginning at each end of the trap line and working toward the middle. Ran out of garbage cans before reaching the middle, but before that time there were 3 more imaginary cans placed. So, a total of 30 cans covering 36 sample spots, multiply area of one can by 36 to get area sampled 5 p.m. (5) no mice in woodland, clofarsl had 1 wren-tit and 1 spring euphity, and woodon had 3 euphites and 5 or 6 very study merotites. Carl and John ran this woodon line and saw a lodger between M10 and M11, which then went down a hole about 20 yards away. after supper we went back to look for him and spotted a badger lying on a different mound of

1968 earth watching us, resting and scratching himself. After about 40 minutes he wandered off and was met by another badger 20 or 30 yards away. Both of them started digging a single hole and after about 5 minutes it was deep enough so that one of them was all the way down it and the second one was disposing of the dirt being excavated by the first one (tandem work). June 10 Rain traffic at 5:15 a.m., night clear, dew in valley but not heavy. Oak woodland traffic no mice, more spring. Meadow 1 spring, 1 Pers manic, 1 mecothre. Chaparral 1 spring, 1 Dipso, The hole at which the badger was digging had a big fresh earth pile in front of it; the hole went in about 3 feet then turned left. Scots: all the carnivore scats seen in 3 days would not have added up to 2 qts, probably not even 1 qt. Carol had a grizzly bear for in the chaparral. Summary of 7 nights: Chaparral -> 7 times, 1 manic, 5 Dipso, 3 birds. Meadow -> 11 mecothre, 8 maniculating, 1 Rether. Oak 1 maniculating.

Ran traps at 6 a.m. Cloverol had 1 from torhe (trap set #1), 1 Dipper, and 1 Baro calf. Meadow had none. Oaks had one jay. [illegible] minutes. The total catch for Dr. Benson's manual class, trapping mostly all the canyon and on Jerry Bell's ranch, was 7 Thoroughpigs, 10 Paragoldus, 6 Battros, 27 Baro calf, 4 marie, 20 bogles, 11 treesi, 2 vatoons, and 5 mites. About 350 total nights.

1969 Pearson 0.6 mi. NW Academy, 520 ft., Fresno Co Jan 24 To Academy with Benson, Young, Patton, and Carol Patton. Arrived 6:15 p.m., dark & rainy. Much rain past 2 weeks, everything soggy. Much rain overnight Jan 25 Put about 20 woodchucks near river (smaller) northeast of the cemetery at 7:30 a.m., all in sandy soil. Later increased to 30. Before noon caught 5 or 6 Thoroughpigs, mostly bright colored ones. A passing motorist told me worst rains in history. at noon moved to 2.9 mi N and 1.4 mi E Clovis and counted in field right for Mrs. Green's house. Got about 15 woodchucks at 1:00 p.m. and caught about 5 gobblers by 5 p.m. * Heavy rain overnight, Jan 26 Pun traps at 7:30 a.m. 3 or 4 more gobblers. At about 8:30 clovis, moved to 4.6 mi N 1.4 mi E, 400 ft. Much more standing water further on at 2.9 mi. N. The soil seems to be fairly sandy but quite red. In a mining pool operation at the 4.6 mi location the sandy red stuff goes down several feet but becomes consolidated into an almost-sandstone at about 4 feet, and a gravelly conglomerate (loose) about a foot thick below that. North of the levee is all flooded this morning, with marooned farmhouses etc. Set 2 woodchucks about 60 in red sandy on edge of boggy fields. Very few woodchucks visible.

June 1 Orinda. The mouse enclosure in the pasture contains tall oats (still green, plus broom + legume with 3" seed pods any of + 2 large (4-ft) bristly thistles). None of these nearby x nearest oats are 1 or 2 plants 5 feet away. Enclosure is just at edge of advancing comin--mustard-thistle. No comin or mustard in enclosure x Good tall grass inside and much greener still than surrounding. The oats inside the enclosure are much greener still than any nearby x The soddy beyond Sleepy Hollow is all green Comin this year. Used to be mustard. The isolated poison oak patch above the Howard's is surrounded by a neat ring of Comin.

1969 Hastings Reservation June 7 Put out the three Calburn lines between 3 ad, 6 pm. The chamise is in full bloom. Grass dried efffect under some oaks. Clutch of day-old quail at edge of chamise line, parents flushed about 20 yds into the chamise and the young froze. Weather cloudy and cool. Scotch mist after dark and still going at 10 pm. 14 Herons in tall Elymus at block stump at 5:30pm. June 8 Ran Calburval line at 7 a.m., cloudy. Grass and chamise drifting net. Three truei, 3 manuculatus, ad 1 californica. Other lines run at 9:30 am. One manuculatus in the meadow, one sparrow at port 15 in the oaks. The live traps, set for mice/rodents, carught one leathro. Drove up Drove up to the Arnold place with drifting. All day was cloudy cold, even drizzly. Did not check traps in Por, but set more for mice/rodents in the area near the block stump. The enclosure in the meadow definitely has thicker vegetation than outside as than the control false enclosure. Difference appears to be due to absence of gophers inside the enclosure (although there seem to be one unused gopher hole along the west wire, inside). June 9 Night cloudy, cool, drizzly. Grass + burder thoroughly net, as yesterday. Calburval flushed 3 truei, 1 calif, 1 manuc. Meadow line had 3 manuculatus. Oak shed 1 junco. Took photos of enclosures: #1 enclosure, #2 control, #3 control, #4 enclosure. #5 in back of Elymus. All day cloudy & cold. Also photos of oak traps

C.V. Baeza 1969 Oct. 4am. W narrow, wooded S. elfs. Oct. 17 at 3:30 p.m. with students put out small Sherman baited with rolled oats, all in pure reduced with good duff, mostly long rotten log-els. Weather mostly clear but had rained very recently. Oct. 18 Run traps at 5:30 p.m. (nothing), 8:30 (5 Pero. mice.), 10:30 (4 Pero), 1:30 (1 Sciathrogram and 1 Pero), 4:30 am (3 Pero), 7am (3 Sciathogram). On the 10:30 run a spotted Skunk ran ahead of the trappers and disturbed several traps. Saw two together on my run at 4:30. Set 13 Sherms across the road in a grassy gley with legs at 8:30 but nothing caught by moon. Left dawn 12:30, Drove through elfs as far as Point Arena looking for good pacifins and raygrass baited. Ending at Marbster Beach State Park, which is 5 mi N Point arena. At 3:30 put 100 Sherms through very lush grass, buttercup, creeping blackberry, "sword" grass, and weeds along a swale bordered by grassy meadow with scattered brushes (Baccharis, Creuthus). Lots of mice were running in the sparser open grassy meadows, but the small vegetation made too dense. 3 hawks and a wood. Hawks were hunting over the meadow. Oct. 19 Various students ran traps during night, and I. Two live Sciathogram, maybe 8 or 10 maniculates, a few Rathtars, one "baby mole" turned dead (=Neurotrichus?), and several of scintines. Apparently no Tores. Left for home before noon.

Reaser 1969 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co. Oct.31 With zoo 207 class at the 3 Calburn lince beginning at 3 p.m., weather warm, has been 0.3" rain so far, moon about half. No good microtoma signs while setting. no dew on grass. Nov.1 Ran traps at 7:30 a.m. chaparral -> 3 maniculatus, 1 worn, 1 wren tit, 1 brown towhee, 1 Vestorna while fiske loose and escaped while traps was being picked up. Meadow line 1 spring empty. Oaks spring empties at no.17. Ran traps at 4 p.m. - walking grass. Nov.2 Weather clear, no dew. In A.M. Chaparral -> 1 turesi, 1 Reithro, Meadow -> 1 perograthus and 1 Reithro, 1 spring empty.

1969 The exclosures on Nov. 3 showed somewhat greater amount of vegetation in the true exclosure compared to the false exclosure. Dec. 9 To Alviso marshes with Aunt, Dave & my sons Harris, Phil & Sara Myers. Highest tide of year ever at 11:38 am (+10.0 ft.). Clear day. We got to Alviso about 11:45 and found everything in sight except the yacht harbor completely protected from the tides by dikes. The water in the yacht basin seemed to be 10 feet higher than the salt-marsh marshes east of the railroad tracks. By "walking" about 2 miles north along the RR we found flooded marshes (actually litchikuses with a converted trougher of live salt-pond fish Calliethys) who had 20 or 30 pounds of them alive in stocks of burlap corned trays. He sells them "to the University" and ships them out also for live bait. Says they will survive 2 or 3 days out of water. The marshes were covered by several feet of water; the water level came up to the ballast of the RR tracks, lots of sandpipers, junclets, shorebirds, egrets; even mixed flocks of sparrows + sandpipers along the RR. But no observed small mammals & by turning boards along the RR line found 4 live gophers, 1 dead gopher and 1 live muskrat. I can't imagine where all the presumed marsh inhabitants were. They weren't floating on boards, clinging to emergent vegetation + above poles, nor running along the RR.

Pearson 1970 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. July 3 arrived 2 p.m. with Anita, Carol, C.D. Balph, David Butsch, and Christos Meake. Hot and humid. Set oak and meadow calburn lines before zuffer and chaparral line after zuffer. No mouse sign along oak and chaparral lines (except needed droppings on the oak line), some meiotic sign along the meadow line. Saw pinch rabbit at the edge of the chamise along the chaparral line. Lots of # rabbit droppings as usual at the edge of the chamise. White-tailed kite hunting over Pearson field at dusk; saw 3 stoops onto ground but apparently caught nothing. Enclosures in Pearson field: both the spadesure and the false spadesure have thicker vegetation than surrounding area—no bare patches showing through, more old dead vegetation. No gross differences between the two. Night clear, calm, no dew. July 4 Oak trophy had 2 living empty of the downed oak, many earth quse. Chaparral line had 3 truei, all in chaparral. Meadow had 1 immature and 1 half- grown fathero; about 20 spring empty. Went with Dave Bradford through his chamise area, 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. Lots of marked trussed cards. Saw a rabbit twice in the chamise area but not sure whether it was brush or cottontail.

Pearson 1970 July 5 Reloited traps before supper. One smoothe Cremadophorus at #16 Chofarrel. No others. No bats gone on the chofarrel line, but lots gone on the other lines (grasshoppers?). Cannot force posts up school hill after supper. Day hot. Pm Chofarrel line at 6 a.m.; lots of bats stolen, about 4 spring empty. Others held 1 tamer, 1 Dipso, 1 brown tanager, 1 house wren, 1 worm tit, and 1 mountain quail. Also 1 Dipso lying dead half-way between two of the posts, a trap spring caught by one of them. Saw 2 brush robins along edge between posts 16 and 19. Also probably a brush robin at edge of riparian growth in long field. Wooden line held nothing (lots of grasshoppers on earth) and oak line held 1 immature macromelastus. In Pm, Chofarrel line held 1 worm tit at #3, 1 house wren at #5, and one Cremadophorus at #16. Other lines nothing. Reloited after supper. In a.m. cut a new piece of antirrhinum trail beginning at the south corner of the field on baystock hill and running down to ridge, then angle left. 15 trap stakes. Day hot. See photo of June 9, 1969 for location of new piece of line. Two robins seen at edge of School Hill Chofarrel at 4:30 p.m.; looked mostly like cottontails. Photo of this patch at 4:30. July 6 Chofarrel line at 6 a.m. held 1 Seropithis and 5 swiftest. Oak line held 1 Parrot at station ( ). Wooden line held 1 microtus, 1 Parrot, and 1 Seropithus macromelastus + 2 swiftest.

Pearson 1970 Aug. 10 Orinda, pasture across road from my home, Contra Costa Co. My 1-meter enclosure following a summer of fairly high insecta population: surroundings are dry thistle, scattered dry mustard, dry small grasses, a few dry common stobles on downhill side, a few short oats up to 26" high. also a few still-green bristly ot-tongue, Eriophium paniculatum, and possibly lettuce. Lots of sunrayz and white-maiz just outside the wire. Inside: lots of dead- years stobles of oats and common leaning against wire, lots of oats, some with stobles as thick as a pencil and 5 feet tall, quite a bit of Elymus (more detailed), a few tall sprigs of rye? grass. No mustard, no common, no thistle, nothing else; good thistles mouse cover. Sandy's oat enclosure (Aug. 31): outside mostly med.- sized oats, a few mustard, a few soft-tanks, 2 or 3 possibly lettuce, other grasses but no Elymus. Inside cut-off thistle the enclosure med. oats, 2 prickly lettuces (one 4 ft tall), Hesperia thistle, fat tail, other grass, some goofles digging, one mustard, dried legume. Sandy's Elymus enclosure: mostly Elymus, mixed with light grasses and maybe 10 deer-cropped prickly lettuce, no oats, a few thistles, no mustard for 2 meters. Inside: 5 deer-cropped prickly lettuces and one 3-foot uncropped one, several oats up to 4-1/2 feet and several others cropped, Elymus (the greatest around), a few thistle, and light grasses (brame and Sandy's thistle enclosure: outside is thistle + oats plus a smattering of brame, cropped prickly lettuce, a few

Most dramatic: no bristly ot-tongue, no probably lettuce, no thistle for many yards. Courtyard - a few ot-tongue not far away (browsed). Eplosure was prepared Sept 20 at which time nearly was full thistle and other thistles inside. only a few Comin inside, and these not big. Sagelen Creek, aug 14 With Sandy put 40 pairs of colorful aluminum small Shermans, saltain side by into consisted of one plain trap and one with masking tape on floor sprayed with black paint.

Rearo 1970 At 9 am cruised the meadow across from the station headquarters looking for garter snakes. Found one 5 yards south of stream (marked 6 ventral + anterior to anus, medium-sized snake) but no others until 10:45, a small one, marked ventral 5, at the weir, 2 yards from stream. Crossed the meadow at least 8 times at different distances from stream, no clouds, so should be good negative evidence. no signs of moisture. at about 2 p.m., Sandy saw trufs in meadow and we took one dead serenatus in a black truf. at dusk a live micistus in a white trufe. aug. 16 Night clear. Trufs in + M held a chipmunk in white trufe, a micistus in white, a Peromyscus in white, and a chipmunks (1205) in black. Cruised for garter snakes across from the station, 8:30 to 9:15. Saw one medium, an single leech across from volley ball net, 2 yards from stream, it appeared to have been marked on (it scold on its side, not mine from yesterday 10 yds away. If the garter snakes are primarily bird & mammal predators, they might be concentrated near the stream because that's where the Zoprus are. The kids playing along the stream saw about 6 in the middle of the day. cought one garter snake where dogotten Creek crosses the highway, near water.

Parsons 1976 Oct. 15 At noon put 89 large barns in Orinda Pasture with John Anderson, a grad student of Eidicker's. Weeds + grave dry, lots of runways, droppings, and whitewash. Some Baccharis being grubbed, saw one mule. Oct. 16 John ran traps in a.m. and reported that he caught 21 microtuses -- to be used for genetics breeding purposes

1970 John & Rodadero, 20m, Delt. of Magdalena, Colombia Dec. 27 But 20 small shrews baited with bread in acacia - tipillo than scrub, some rocks, no more sign. Quite arid, little grass, some "fig" bushes that look like small succulent trees with large palmate leaves, some vine-like bushes with morning glory flowers, and scattered other bushes. Little grass in spots of no goats or sheep seen, a couple of cows in fenced "pasture". Dec. 28 One golden marmoset in traps; brought it out by leaving it on the counter of a fritter stand on highway home. It was caught in the most tangled spot on the line. Dec. 29 19 traps at dusk, some live but baited with yucca. A motor says there are "gatos parcos" here - maybe tayra-tayras, since Carol & John saw one this morning. Dec. 30 Two more marmosets, one of them in same set as the one on Dec. 28. Bread discarded Dec. 28 still lying on ground untouched. Lots of acacia branches the size of a finger have been cut and are being cut by large grey beetles? Cut like with a pipe cutter. The extent of damage is impressive. Birds seen in the scrub are quail, dove (nesting), hummingbird with striped face and feeding close to the ground on insects, cactus wrens, mocking bird, and "vireos" with black face and belly. at dusk set 19 traps in marshy - sedge - grassy strip on the edge of town. Some cattle, no runway. Dec. 31 2 mice and 1 toad in traps at 6 a.m. Released them. Left at 8 a.m. with family & CJ Ralphs in rented jeep headed for the hills.

four hundred feet elevation, then coffee. Coffee is grown on very steep slopes and with much shade so that a facing hillside looks like forest but is really coffee under big dense shade trees. At about 1500m near the upper limit of coffee we saw 2 brown-birds growing on a steep road cut. One contained a frog and the other a salamander. This started a search for a mil or two up the road in perhaps 30 available brown-birds. Caught 3? kinds of frogs and about a dozen salamanders plus assorted flatworms, cockroaches, grubs, etc. etc. The biggest salamander stood a brown-bird with a small one, and several shed milktooths. A small cluster of eggs, maybe salamander, was between brown-bird lines. Several salamanders seemed "stunned", lethargic, dead dead, but one wriggled frontally when probed with a knife. While we were at 1500m it rained down around 1000m making the road a mess in places. Perfectly dry down lower. The man we rented the jeep from (seemed very sensible) says 2 rainy seasons, one around April and another around September. Found squadd [illegible] on road in coffee country about 1000m x King mittwort flecks + louts all together, searing. jan.3 Drove from Pedrera to Barranquillo 7-9 a.m. Wonderful seeing, much of the way with serious crocodiles, cavecaran, howls, squirrels etc. A large monkey dead on road, reddish brown.

1971 Florida, Carlos Renta Co [pasture] April 25 The pasture outside the enclosure is mostly Bromus mollis with scattered oats, gerasium, small thistle (blooming), burr clover (blooming), vetches (blooming), sally's tongue, and further up the hill a few lupines. I don't recall lupines before. Two or three yards above the enclosure is fairly pure [illegible] thistle, then gerasium and mustard. The tops of many of the vetches have been grazed off (deer?). Inside the enclosure is a dramatically tall and dense stand of vetch and oats, each of them bigger and more robust than anything visible for 20 yards around (and probably nowhere else in the pasture. The tops of many of the oats and vetches have been grazed. Very little mollis made, but some Elymus, a little Elymus outside also. [photo on back] Gardy's pure oats enclosure set up fall 1969 is likewise dominated by vetch, some oats, almost no mollis although lots of it nearby (surrounding).

The chaparral line had only one trap at the last 6 stations and only 2 traps at each of stations 24-30 (since 16 traps short on extension). These are the new additions to the chaparral line. The meadow trap line had 5 rat traps and 1 small Victor mouse trap used at the last 3 stations. Saw a pair redbutan oak line. The spring has been very cool, few hot days; oats mostly still green. Long field full of blooming lupines; Jimmy Bell says best lupines year ever. No microtus sign. June 5 Night cold and clear; morning clear, lots of dew. Ran traps at 6:30 with Phil Mayer, Andy Griffin, and Steve Davis. Chaparral line had lots of tucker, some Peromyscus calif., two Dipose, no birds (see summary). Meadow line had only two microtuses. Oak line had 1 spring zenatia in middle of line under the second limb. Several impression is that there are lots of gobblers + lodgers this year. Saw "herd" of 7 large turkey on school hill. Day sunny, windy, cool. Saw one more lone turkey about usual number of deer. Ran oak line at 3 pm, nothing. See species account of lodger encounters. Meadow line at 6 pm had 2 very stinky microtuse, and chaparral line had a large round lizard at station 31. Phil added the 16 missing speckles to this line and I replaced the 5 rat traps on the meadow line with museum speckles. Took photo of Dave Brodby's damage. June 6 Night cold, clear, almost full moon. Ran trap at 6:30 am.

Reason 1971 See summary of trap lines. Day cool, breezy, sunny. Noteworthy was a troy trapped along the oak trap line. On one of the acorns garbage cans; the drainage hole had clogged up; the garbage can filled with water, broke free, drifted to the ground, and was sitting upright on the ground with a couple of gallons of water in it and a break in the side giving easy access to the water. Although it was not at one of the regular stakes, we decided to set a museum special at it yesterday morning. This morning there was a troy caught. Does this demonstrate a shortage of water or a shortage of shelter (under the bottom). The only other trap under shelter (under the downed limb) were spring - empty again. afternoon trapline held our mustela in meadow. Day cool, breezy, sunny. June 7 Night clear cool, one night short of full moon. Fog came in and filled valley up to about Red House at 5 a.m. but was gone by 6 am. Nothing in meadow traps or oaks (including the trap at the water - filled garbage can), in chaparral were numerous troy, a few Peromyscus calif; one Rattus on edge of chaparral. Note no birds this year. Sept 8:15 a.m. Summary: June 5 a.m. P.M. June 6 am - pm June 7 am. P.M. oaks mustela I meadow P. manic.

Pearson 1971 June 5 Badger Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. Saw a badger snuffling in the grass at the south-west edge of the dry field on School Hill. Stopped to watch him from 20ft. after about 2 min (3:25 pm DST) I heard something coming through the grass in the meadow behind me, I turned slowly and another smaller badger was coming towards me. It came up cautiously and sniffed at the camera case at my feet, peered up at me, then took alarm and ran off through the grass, doing a loop around toward the forest. The noise of No. 2 running through the grass frightened No. 1, who ran into the woods. No. 2's course intersected No. 1's and so No. 2 followed precisely in the trail of No. 1 and they met under a poison oak thicket and rubbed noses, then started to hunt again. I followed No. 1 and lost track of No. 2, but after about 5 minutes No. 2 headed toward me and came up to about 3 feet, peered at me, then went slowly off in another direction. I followed No. 1 as he fast hunted through the coffee (grassy weedy floor with lots of dead leaves mixed in). In 35 minutes of observation the badger covered 227 yds bee line or about 270 yds total, all but being pretty much in one direction. He did no real digging, all just snuffling and scratching a few times here and there. On 3 occasions he seemed to find something and chewed on it for about 20 or 30 seconds; I am pretty sure it was not mouse or gopher. Granoffens were abundant in the meadow, but I would not expect him to chew them that long. I was never more than 30 feet from him, frequently only 10. Much of the time I walked along beside him,

Badger Also a man walking his dog. As long as I stayed down— mind (the man and breeze) he paid no attention to me or to my noisy footsteps. I would freeze when he looked at me. On two occasions I could not keep myself downward and got a bit off to one side; he immediately became suspicious and peered in my direction, and changed his course to get further away. When alarmed, both animals elevated the stiffly tail to a vertical position. On one occasion he turned abruptly upward to its base of a large, somewhat smoky live oak and sniffed in the leaves. A few inches in front of his nose a small animal awkwardly climbed up the trunk of the oak into the border. The badger did not see it but realized at once that something had climbed up. The badger peered up into the tree and even raised up and put his feet on a low branch and crawled up into the tree, then resumed hunting in the original direction. The prey seemed most like a young chipmunk, but since I have seen no chipmunks this year, it may have been a persimmon calf or a woodrat (but there was no stick nest). The whole hunting process was very shamblelike. I was impressed by how poor their vision is and how much they must operate by olfaction.
