Madera Co., Calif.
Aug. 29, 1950 - Sept. 9, 1950
Lives along creek at camp. One individual
in camp on several occasions.
Scafamus latimanus. One individual recovered
from the creek flying fast can flat Red's Mesa-
Low. Mouth was bloody. The animal was
placed in loose pumice gravel at the creek
edge and pushed its way underneath the
surface immediately. About one hour later,
the spot was revisited, and a subsurface
tunnel had been pushed through the gra-
velly area and into the streamside vegetation.
The animal was not seen again.
Sorex fabelris? One afternoon, an animal,
apparently a large shrew, swam down a
short stretch of open water in the creek at
Red's Meadow and disappeared beneath the
undercut bank. It was not seen again.
Bats of various sizes seen on many occasions
at dusk at Red's Meadow and Sotheb Lake.
Gueretis Americanus. Not seen, but we were told by
Mrs. Fee Ferret, wife of the forest service guard at
Red's Meadow R.S., that two had been killed at
Red's Meadow, one last year and one this year.
Mustela frenata. Weasels were seen on several
occasions running or looking by the creek at
