P.C. Ziegler 1956 Touwen. Nov25 Boise Creek Campground, 800' ft. Humboldt Co., California. Camped here last nite. Set 90 mus. Spee's - About 70 along 2 to 3 inch deep creek (dry in spots) running stream down shady hill-side. Mossy rock, few old logs & 3 inch deep leaf litter made up ground cover. Only a few runs found by digging into ground - many rocks & pebbles in soil may have kept down tunnels digging. More run seen in camp ground. Road construction going on during week on road past this camp. Also many lumber trucks on and these roads. Remaning 20 mays: Set in more or less open spots (foot of trees, under bushes etc.) leading up hillside above a rocky river bed (partly sun-lit). Got only 7 Peromyscus maniculatus. Kids found salamanders in the 2-3 inch deep creek. right in campground (E side). This locality is probably the same as that in which Dr. Stebbins collected Ryacophiton. Had a buff-colored house cat around camp last nite late & this am.. Quickly ate all of 4 mice given to it. Tree cover at trapping spots was 80% Qaw.f. Bay, rest maple(?) & douglah(?) fir. Birds here: Chickadee - 2 Ruby C's Kinglet - 2 Left about noon for Bernouly via Blue lake, Eureka etc. Location is Sect.30 U.S.G.S. Winkow Creek Quad. 1952.
