Itinerary
entire front end was covered with a
slimy slime-like substance. There was a
hole torn into its side just anterior to
where the trap wire clutched it. The other
mammals caught were:
4 Peromyscus crinitus
2 Neotoma lepida
Last night I shot & adult ♀ Myotis.
I left the traps in the same locality because
I did not have time to set them elsewhere.
This morning I had:
2 Peromyscus crinitus 1 Ad.♀; 1 Imm.♂
1 Peromyscus maniculatus Ad. ♀
2 Neotoma lepida 1 Ad ♂; 1 Imm.♂
It is interesting to note that the Peromyscus
maniculatus is the first one caught
on the north side of the canyon.
June 15, Yesterday it rained for several hours. After
making a cover for the supplies and myself
out of the tarp I skinned the days catch.
In the middle of the afternoon the rain
stopped as quickly as it had begun.
I took my traps and went up Smith Creek
to see if I could find any habitats which
had not as yet been trapped. After going
a mile I left the traps and continued
on. The canyon narrowed down in places
to [illegible] where it was only wide enough
