Let our traps, 14 in number, East of camp,
West of the road which leads to the Bridge.
General vicinity is covered with Yellow
Pine and Incense Cedar with Mangroita
Bushes scattered about and a few Oak,
rather small-leaved & stunted looking variety.
While setting our traps (May 20)
heard & saw
some Woodpeckers of undetermined species, I
saw some Swifts high above. Some sort of
bats were seen flying overhead as we worked
(Myotis species?). At about five thirty in
the morning, we went back to our trap line and
found an adult male Prompous Maniculates (1)
in the first trap, which had been set
under a Mangroita bush. The remaining traps
were empty. Two had been sprung and their
bait was gone.
