December 1974 Hastings Reservation Dec. 12 To Hastings with Patton, about 3 PM (overcast) set the oak and meadow lines and to set the chaparral line; museum species ad peanut butter, I saw only 3 good muleys in the meadow (traps of one of them) and 2 muleys in the oaks (traps of one of them - Evening Soots [illegible] mist + drifty but cleared later at night. Dec. 13 Ice on car. All day clear. Chaparral traps at 7:30 AM had 2 Keithros, 6 truis, 1 Linnaeus calf, 3 Dipos, and 1 Taricha. Oak line held 1 Keithro. Meadow line 10 maniculates and 1 Keithro. In PM chaparral line had 1 sage sparrow, 2 wren tits, and 1 golden crow. Saw 2 smallish Scoloforus. Dec. 14 Night clear, light frost. In AM chaparral line had 6 truis, 1 Keithro, 1 Linnaeus calf. Oak line had 2 musters sic. Meadow line had 5 maniculates and 1 Keithro. Picked up acorns in morning, covering all of the trap lines and the paths to them from the home house; about 2 - 3 gallons, some of them very fresh but mostly quite old, surely month-old. Saw a bobcat on Haystack Hill out in the grass. Found a dead mole with head eaten off. All 3 species of Peromyscus seem to have become in storms. The acorn "buckets" yesterday had about 5 more acorns in them. One of them had been everted by the wind - but still contained an acorn. Chaparral traps in PM held 1 brown touche. Found a mouse-eaten valley-oak acorn at Station 24 in the chaparral, which is about as far in as you can get,
