Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif.
Nov.23 Left Mt.View at 10:00am, arrived Hastings at 12:15pm.
Walt Koenig and MacRoberts were just leaving the lab
so we learned where the key was kept. Moved a few things
into the bunkhouse but ate lunch outside where it was
warmer. Then hiked up the hill to the north of the
bunkhouse (Red Hill), mostly grass(oats?) with
scattered trees, looked like fresh pocket gopher activity
on a small level spot most of the way up. Back down and
across the path past Davis' house and down the road
towards the gate, looked like more good spots to set
traps here, so we went back and drove down with them.
Started setting traps at 3:15pm. First set traps 101-120
in chamise on Haystack Hill. Next 121-140 in meadow
on a line parallel to and closer to the creek than the
cycloserows. Then 161-180 along dry creek bed, 21-50 up
a ravine, across School Hill and back down to road,
and 51-60 at edge of field parallel to road. Lastly 61-70
along the fence row next to the barn where traps are
stored, and 71-75 across dirt road from there in the
glass. Came back and cooked supper, then looked through
papers in the lab until 9:00pm. Checked all traps. Two
full in chamise #113 Perognathus californicus, #107
Peromyscus boyleyi. Nothing in meadow. Another
Perognathus calif. #173 in dry creek bed. Going up
ravine one empty (42) one Peromyscus truei (38) and one
P. boyleyi (50) at bottom of hill along road. Along field
