General Account.
traps and are Mole traps. The
major portion of the traps
were set along the stream
side and on the moist
hillsides. In general the
country here would be described
as the basic Sierra, wooded
principally with Quercus engelmannii.
Along the rivers are willows,
cottonwood, and near by are
numerous buckeyes. On some
areas there are patches of
chaparral (Live oak, Manzanita etc.)
but these are not large in
area due to the shading
of the oaks. There are also
many granitic rock outcrops
especially on the south facing
slopes of the canyon and in
these I observed many wood
rat signs.
There is a trapper in the
canyon who has a gray
fox skin under the automobile
tires.
