M.Brock 1956 Journal May 7 Jet.Dungeness+Greywolf R.,=800ft.(sec30,T29N,R3W)(Bollam Co., Wash. way near Blyn which is located by Sequim Bay. The turnoff, dirt road is near the Sequin Bay State Park, The dirt road was followed for about five miles to the point where the Dungeness River enters the Greywolf River at an elevation of about 800 ft. Made camp and set out 60 snap traps and 10 skyler traps. May 8 Checked traps in the morning and removed four Peromyscus, one Sorex and one Microtus. When checking the traps at about three o'clock one Clathronomys was caught. 46 more snap traps were put out. While setting these traps 2 small toads and one tree frog were seen near the shore of the stream - one toad was collected. A very strong skunk odor has been present at and about our camp site - Two steel traps have been placed out to try and catch the skunk. May 9 When checking the traps this morning a toad had been caught in one of them - this toad was kept. Also caught were four more Peromyscus and one shrew. All of the animals caught were taken in the traps that had been placed out yesterday, not the traps that were left out from the day before. Walnuts are being used for bait. The skyler traps that had been set previously were baited with sandrine and oats. The traps out tonight are baited with the carcasses of other trapped animals. Weather has been fine, so far.
