Itinerary
July8th cont'd.
9 trap N of camp - 3 mi S Shiny
4/00 ft. yielded 3 mammals - 2 P. maniculatus
1 Perog. longimembris-
In afternoon walked around camp
and shot a hairy woodpecker, an
Ammosterophilus and a leopard lizard.
45 days
Set out 135 gout traps in sand North
of camp - Sand soft and deep in
many places with large Chrysothamnus
and Atriplex. 10 traps along river?
banks in willows and small cottonwoods
Shot a bat Pipistrellus.
July9th Took 12 mammals - 9 in sand north of
camp: 2 micro dipodops and 7 Dip. Merriami
and 3 P. maniculatus. Shot a black throated
sparrow and a barn swallow.
In late
afternoon visited East shore of Weber
Lake - about 8 mi S. Shiny, the shore line
has receded markedly apparently with
recent times as all show lines are
conspicuous - There are wide bands of gravel
separating zones of pond - the sand
zones seem well populated with P. ordii
apparently in the lowest zone - Looks
like it would be an excellent place to
study succession. A number of
birds were observed on the lake - gulls,
cormorants and white pelican.
