May 18 Trumbo, 1700 ft. Baja California
Five or six caught by Tex this afternoon
and yesterday afternoon in Schuyler traps. Traps
were set along brush fence surrounding an
abandoned cornfield immediately east of camp.
Area is in an arroyo and occupies the bottom
of it. Sandy soil is present and a few remains
of corn stalks may still be seen. Surrounding
the area is rocky and covered with small trees
and bushes heavily grazed by goats + cattle.
May 19 Same Location. Shot two females (#215+216)
this afternoon at 1:30. Both were shot as
they sat in a brush fence surrounding a
small field 200 yards east of camp. Many
others were seen on the rocky ground outside
of the fence and under heavily grazed brush,
but they ran before I could shoot. One
of the females had four large embryos, the
other none. This species is abundant in
this area.
