J. Roegers -1942 Grizzly Peak Alameda Co, Cal. Feb. 28 Yesterday afternoon Walt Dalquest, Bob Storer and I set 150 traps (50 each) within 200 yards of Grizzly Peak Blvd., about 600 yards SSW of the lookout tower on the peak. They were all set in the sagebrush; Walt's and Bob's on a west-facing slope and mine on a south-facing slope - on the sides of the little draw below the big rocks. Mine were all within 200 feet of the edge of the sagebrush; mostly within 50 feet of it. Walt and Bob ran their lines up about 100 yards into the sagebrush. I caught 8 Microtus and 1 shrew (Sorex cal ornatus); Walt caught 2 Microtus, 1 Ctenomys californicus! When I got back, Bob caught 4 Microtus and 1 Peromyscus. Walt took 6 of my Microtus and the shrew. At about 7:45, when the sun was just hitting Berkeley, we could see a small dark dory cruising north along the coast just west of the Santa Cruz mountains, and at that time we saw four or six large planes (probably patrol bombers) and two smaller faster ships take off from the Navy base at Alameda and head out to the west and northwest. The morning was bright and the sky clear, but a haze hung over the Bay just east of San Francisco and a fog bank hung off shore, just concealing the Farallon Islands.
