Dogelan Creek Field Trip
Oct. 3
We left UC Berkeley at ~10:30 A.
I was in a car with Dave Good, Judy
Bradwohl, and Robert Dail. We drove east
on interstate 80 to eastern California near
Truckee and took the Truckee exit. Upon
exiting, we picked up Calif. Hwy. 89 north.
We drove north on 89 for about 7.9 miles and
turned left onto Dogelan Road. Dogelan
Road is a dirt road and near its
intersection with 89 is the station garage.
We followed Dogelan Road for ~1.7 miles
and arrived at the Dogelan Creek Field
Station (SCFS) at ~2:30 P. (Nevada Co.)
At ~3:00 P. Robert Dail and I set 61
museum special snap-traps 0.9 mi. NE SCFS
at ~6320 ft. 35 traps were set in pines
with rocky ground habitat, 7 were set in
open grass near a small stream, 19 were
set in willows and grass near the same
small stream. Before we even had all of
the traps set, we had already caught a
Eutamias townsendi in the pine-rocks area.
We returned at ~9:30 P to check the trap
drive. We caught two animals; a Peromyscus
maniculatus in the pine-rock habitat and
a Zapus princeps (jumping mouse) in the willow-
