Peromyscus maniculatus
Dec 23 4 mi NE Springville, 2800 ft. Tulare Co, Calif.
Canyon 1 individual this morning.
The trap was set in a relatively
open plot at the edge of a rock
within 4 ft of the river.
Habitat area - Sierran Foothill
Life zone - Upper Sonoran.
Jan 14 Canyon G, 7 mi E Orovi, 200 ft. Tulare Co, Calif.
From the 80 traps I took
42 animals of this species.
Habitat area - Sierran foothill - San
Joaquin Valley.
Life zone - Upper Sonoran + Lower Sonoran.
Habitat - It seems to be very
broad, varying from the dense
greasy hill slopes to the barns
where baled hay is kept. They
are generally to be found about
rocks, brush or in grassy areas
but were taken in some instances
in relatively open areas where
small open trails had been made.
In several cases they were taken
at the mouth of small burrows
which I presumed belonged to
them. The majority of the
animals taken today were young.
Jan 15
Took 22 of this species
this morning. Habitat is principally
grassy hill slopes about rock
piles.
