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.
