16 Junction Meadow, Kern Canyon
Lolen Co., California. 8100 ft.
From all of the traps
this morning I took only
one Peromyscus from the
traps on the hill.
During the morning we
hunted about the meadow
and as far down the canyon
as Willow Creek. M. Olson
shot a Golden-mouthed Ground
Squirrel, 2 Sage Sparrows and
a Red-breasted Sapsucker.
In the afternoon we skinned
and late M. Deacon set out
15 traps in a sage flat
between the Kern + the Kern
Kanael Rivers near when
they come together.
There was no evidence
of snow during last night
but much of the snow
of the day before was
still left hanging to
the trees. By 10:00 AM
the sun came out through
the clouds and with the
aid of a wind soon melted
