1937 Sylvilagus nuttallii
May 26 Warm Spring, 4,000 ft., 9 mi. E Amadee Lassen
Cay, Calif.
Shot an adult ? as it ran out of Alfalfa patch
just south of camp. When frightened it ran
over a mouse trap set by the fence — springing
it. Cottontails are abundant around here.
As with Jack Rabbits their skulls are found
beneath almost every fence post where hawks
have perched to eat them.
June 13, Henry Creek, mi. Sqandy, 5,000 ft., Millard Co.,
Nevada
Shot an immature cottontail in sagebrush
behind the farm house. They are common in
this district although not as much in evidence
as the Jackrabbits.
