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.
