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.
