Sierra National Forest, Kern Co., Calif.
Mar. 31 Started at the bottom of old Hwy 178, also called
Kern Canyon Rd., or Borel Rd. Stopped just above the
Democrat fire station, 10.3 mi. W Miracle Hot

5.2 mi W Miracle Hot Springs 40 lg 21 am Sherman
Finished setting traps at ~6:00 pm, and camped
again at Upper Richbar campground.
April 1 Got up at 6:00 am. It was cold and damp during
the night. Almost full moon.
10.3 mi. W Miracle Hot Springs, 2', Kern Co., Calif.
11 Peromyscus boylii 7 dead, saved 4
7 P. truei 3 dead saved 4
2 P. maniculatus
1 Peromyscus californicus
1 Neotoma fuscipes released
This was the first Peromyscus californicus we
caught on this trap. It was very gray, fat tail,
weighed ~42gm. It was caught on a hillside
between a Hawthorne and a Ceanothus bush
with a log between them. Along the creek in
a canyon were mostly P. boylii, many of them
dead, probably because the night was moist
+ cold. This site is about 12.3 miles below Bodfies
which was a locality given in Trinnell & Orr, 1934.
