Trap line caught 1 Song Sparrow in the
gress by the water's edge, 1 immature P.
waniculatus, caught in a trap set on a
moss-covered log lying across the stream,
1 Microtus oregoni caught in a trap set
in a run about 3 inches below the sur-
face in the mud on the creek bank, and
4 Sorex pacificus, caught at the water's
edge on the grassy creek banks. One Sorex
had a smashed skull and was discarded.
The 20 traps in the woods were blank and
were picked up. Shined in a.m. and
set 20 traps along the creek below the 30
I had set yesterday. In the evening, which
was foggy, we heard several birds flying high,
above the fog, and giving high, squealing
notes. The only bird we can think of that
would be flying inland fairly late in the
evening (c. 8:00 p.m.) is the Marbled Murrelet
which has been heard in this vicinity
