5alt 1947 Journal 5 mi. E., 4mi. S. Shandon, San Luis Obispo Co., Caly. Aug.22. Put out traps before dinner... Ran a rectangular checkerboard of traps over relatively heavy growth of Haplopappus in alluvial fan at mouth of canyon where I trapped last night. Aug.23. Checked traps first thing. Caught nothing but an immature Dipos and 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, one ♂, one ♀. Walked north along cottonwoods along stream bed with Dekuel. We covered the area about 3/4 mile north of camp for about two hours. Saw West. Bluebirds in abundance. Collected a Calaveras Warbler, White-breasted Nuthatch, and a Coy. Jay. Heard Jinnets again. Saw Pileolated Warblers again. Several Yellow- billed Magpies were feeding on a dead cow, tried to collect some but didn't get one till later at camp. After lunch put up skins until supper. Drove to a portion of the river bottom 1 1/2 miles upstream from camp & set 70 traps in an almost pure stand of Distichus grass. After supper drove into Shandon. Saw a Kit Fox crossing the road on the way in.
