Weno End Valley, 10+ to 75+ ft. Marin Co. Calif.
Dec. 28 Ran & picked up ant bears (except left
25 at 75+ft.) between 8 and 10 AM. Got 5 more scary vagabonds, no mus,
6 or 8 retinnes, 8 or 10 microtus ormore
and 1 neorichus, got home. Below
dam - there took also Microtus &
Peromyscus but no Retinnes & no Scary.
Also there got 2(?) Tachira last
night + 1 this morning. Also a
"Boxer" slug. Had no animals in
40+ yards set in bunch bear clumps
at about 50+ ft. In cow pasture outd
I would have expected many, do see
below Microtus runs there. Cat(s) pulled
some nearby bears & ate contents,
saw two cats these this AM. So guess
it was them. Got Garner nearby at
50+ ft. At 12:45 PM re-ran the 25 yards
at 75+ ft. Got (small?) Scary vagabond
a couple of Peromyscus & a young Microtus.
Left for home at 1:15 PM. Stay over-
cast but aside from Drizzle most of
last night this AM. Was dry and not
too cold, caught a small Ensatina crawling
above ground along railing just N of locked gate
in very wet Sawbears, bunch bears & fern clump,
at about 8:30 AM today. Given to Jim Anderson, M.T.
