Wolfsow 1938 June 27 (cont) Innalo Cr., 15 mi. W Bend, 600 ft Deschutes Co, Ore. 1 Zapus on the side of a log under a Picea about 5 ft. from the creek; ground moist. 2 Peromyscus, one of which is not P. maniculatus. These were caught in the moist forest edge; 1 Microtus murdax, in a wet grassy bar on the stream edge where Spruces and Lodgepole Pine were growing. Examined the 2 rat traps in the meadow E of camp and had caught nothing. Just as I approached, however, I saw a Microtus go down its hole and therefore left the traps baited. I returned at 1:00 p.m. and found a Micotus richardsoni. Examined the gopher sets and caught 3 gophers, all on the SW side of the stream. The other sets were left as they were. In the afternoon returned to examine gopher sets and several mouse traps which had been left set where recent signs of Micotus were found. Had caught a Lincoln Sparrow 3 inches from the nest on the edge of a willow thicket
