Reason 1971 See summary of trap lines. Day cool, breezy, sunny. Noteworthy was a troy trapped along the oak trap line. On one of the acorns garbage cans; the drainage hole had clogged up; the garbage can filled with water, broke free, drifted to the ground, and was sitting upright on the ground with a couple of gallons of water in it and a break in the side giving easy access to the water. Although it was not at one of the regular stakes, we decided to set a museum special at it yesterday morning. This morning there was a troy caught. Does this demonstrate a shortage of water or a shortage of shelter (under the bottom). The only other trap under shelter (under the downed limb) were spring - empty again. afternoon trapline held our mustela in meadow. Day cool, breezy, sunny. June 7 Night clear cool, one night short of full moon. Fog came in and filled valley up to about Red House at 5 a.m. but was gone by 6 am. Nothing in meadow traps or oaks (including the trap at the water - filled garbage can), in chaparral were numerous troy, a few Peromyscus calif; one Rattus on edge of chaparral.
