Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4,600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif.
May 22, 1942
Arose at five thirty and investigated
our trap-lines. We had set 25 traps east side
of the S. fork of Kings R. Several traps which
had been set near the water's edge were empty.
I was surprised to see empty, one which had
been set near a fallen log; for as I had set
the trap I saw something scurry away, possibly
a meotisus sp., however we picked up the traps.
Three contained animals, all Peromyscus sp.? [illegible]
2♀ and 1♂. One ♀ had been
attacked by ants and so we did not skin
it. Investigated the robin's nest which
Mrs. Milpuchad
found on the east side of the Kings
Riber in the meadow region at the south of the road.
The 9 robin was sitting on the nest. Beggin
nest.
Arose at about 4:10 we started up to look at
the Calliopes Hummer's nest and to search
Poloporus on the way. Spent so much time
along the way investigating strange birds, etc.
that we reached the Calliopes Hummer's
nest at 5 o'clock thus having but a few
minutes to remain here. We came back then,
following the trail & observing several
birds along the way-- No Scioporus
caught-- Several seen there on sunny
places with rocks & often getting fallen
