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
