Hendry Creek, 9,100 ft., 1/2 mi. E of Thorne's, White Pine Co., Nevada
Lee Arnold
1937
June 21, it is for as I could before losing it.
I looked around the surrounding territory
thoroughly for signs of holes or feces piled
on rocks. The most likely place for a
burrow was on the side of a overgrown
talus slope west of the spot where I
saw the marmot. Close search did not reveal
anything however. On the opposite side
of the creek was a high bank of
rock where woodrat sign was abundant.
To one side of the face of the escarpment
and burrowed under it was a hole
large enough for a marmot although
there was no feces to be seen. Today
I went down to the spot for the
sole purpose of seeing if I could shoot
or trap it. I waited around for
several hours but did not see or hear
it. I set three steel traps in
and around the hole under on the side of
the cliff.
June 22, Last night I set 50 mouse traps
down the creek. I caught:
1. Sorex palustris
5 Peromyscus maniculatus
Today we are moving camp so I will
try to summarize what I have
noted in this area.
