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.
