General Account
Junction Meadow, Kern Canyon.
Tulan Co., California. 8180 ft.
From the traps the
morning I got one Peromyscus
maniculatus and from the 20
traps on the hill and two
Peromyscus maniculatus and
one Microtus from the 10 traps
set in the meadow.
The day was spent in
and about camp skinning and
general “speddling” around.
I found a Hair Woodpecker
nest in a dead Ledge-pod Pine
in the meadow. The hole was
about 20 ft off the ground. From
the squeaks within and the
actions of both the birds
I judge that there are
young birds.
The weather was clear
during the morning but in
the afternoon it clouded over
and grew cold. Some rain
fell and several shrinks of
hail and snow.
Mr. Dixon shot a White-throated
Swift and a Fox Sparrow north of
camp.
