1977 Although 5389 was a big Oryzomye longicaudatus when I took it out of the trap, but the ground measure makes me think now it might be S. novomex. I cannot recall which trail it was in, but even if it were near the river the habitat was dry, not lush or dampy, scattered shrubs and ephrares, a few bushes. The large number of species of mice captured results from the contact between forest and brush (at the edge of forest). The habitat reminds of yellow/pine on east side of Sierra Nevada in California. Total catch was >50% of traps occupied. Some mice were utilizing rose hips. Stamned until 2 pm, then drove to winter, very scenic and Jaleque. Windy but mild temp. All poplar + aspen leaves gone at still places, willows still with leaves. At Jaleque there were no bats in the attic; temp 19°. Sets of droppings as before, and piles of moth wings. The mekunums were about to entertain the owner for dinner, so we left and drove about 5 miles west and set out trap lines in rocky - brushy - bunchgrass habitat. Windy and sprinkles of rain, but not cold, probably high fifties. By local time it gets dark 7pm and light at 8 a.m. April 27 Night windy off and on, showers off and on. Coldest about 12°. My 28 traps caught 2 Phyllotis darvini, 3 Ph. merifera, 4 Oryz longi, 1 Elgmodonta, 5 Abdomo pantos, at 4 Abdomo longipilis = total 19. Two of the traps were not traps baited with cheese, they were untouched. Several traps had no least left (rain), and sheep bed sharing a few, i: every good trap had a mouse in it. Ants was active early in the a.m., and moths come to its lunters last night. Caught in 38 traps 5 Ph. merifera, 4 Oryzomyi, 1 Elgmo, 1 Abdomo pantos, and 9 Abdomo longipilis. Total of both lines
