2 mi. W. Hyamson, 1200 ft., Trinity Co., Calif.
June 5, 1946
Trap lines yielded 1 Peromyscus maniculatus,
which was discarded, and 2 Peromyscus
truei (1768+1769) which were saved. The P.
truei were both caught in sets near a stream,
one under a shrub and the other at the base
of a small rock. Hunted birds in an
irrigated field below camp, about 1/4 mile ENE.
The field comes right to the edge of the bed of the
Hayfork River. The river side of the field is
bordered by dense, massive tangles of Vitis,
alternating with dense, low thickets of
Salix sp., and scattered cottonwoods and
Garry Oaks. The camp side of the field is
bordered by a fairly continuous strip of
Garry Oaks backed by Douglas fir and
yellow pine. Several Song Sparrows were
heard singing in the willow thickets on the
river side. One (1770) was collected. Allen Hum-
ingbirds were seen on both sides of the field.
One (1772) was shot as it perched on the
very top of a dense grape tangle. A female
was wounded close by, but was lost in
the under cover. These 2 hummers were
both on the river side of the field. Purple
finches were seen and heard on both sides
of the field. 2 (1773+1774) were taken, both
in oaks but on opposite sides of the field.
