June 3, 1946
many of the meadows are very boggy, and
have dense patches of sedge in them. After
dinner Dr. Millert Ward Russell found an
abundance of [illegible] screech-owls just
north of camp, and collected 4. I set
20 traps along a small creek.
June 4, 1946
Picked up trap line. Two adult Ceronyssus
maniculatus discarded, and 1 small
Microtus californicus (1769), which was
trapped at the base of a large fallen log adjacent
to Carlin Creek. Hunted until about 10 a.m.
Caught a Thamnofhis ordinoides (1765) in a
meadow bog. The abundance of Rana t.
boylii along any watercourse here should
be favorable for Thamnophis. Found a small
Enneces skiltonianus (1766) under a dead
log at the edge of a meadow. Shot 6 birds,
discarding a Black-throated Gray Warbler
as it was too badly shot up to preserve.
Saw a Red-winged Blackbird in one of the
flooded meadows, I heard several more.
Saw two California Jays flyover as I stood
in a patch of Douglas Fir. The fir forest higher
up seems very poor in number and variety
of birds. Set 50 traps in f.m.
