Lee Arnold Fox Canyon, 4,800 ft, 4 mi S Pahrum Pr. Washoe Co., May
1937
Itinerary
May 31,
scrubby. Scattered—on average 1 bush every
4 feet.
Soil: Sandy in certain spots (namely creek
and arroyo bottoms), silt on hills and packed,
dry earth prevalent. We arrived here yesterday
about 3 o'clock P.M. After setting up camp I
set out a trapline of 65 traps. This morning
I had:
4 Dipodomys ordii (?) (3♀ + 1♂)
3 Perognathus longimembris (2♂+1♀)
2 Peromyscus maniculatus (1♂+1♀)
The trapping was laid in the hilly country to
the NW of camp. The locations of various
animals will be seen under the species accounts.
This locality is the most barren of those stayed
at on this trip. Few birds have been seen.
Those that have are:
1. Western Kingbird
2. Ash-throated Fly catcher
3. Western Meadowlark
4. Magpie
5. Sage Sparrow
6. Sage Hen (by Johnson)
7. Western Nighthawk
