J. Rogers Waddell Creek, #2 Santa Cruz Co., Calif. January 15, 1938 with Paul Maslin Arrived from the northwest, about 10:02 P.M. Full moon, light breeze, broken cloudy sky. As we turned into the gate at the west side of the gulch, a large bird left the partially water-covered salt-grass flat just ahead of us. It flew east & circled out toward the beach. We supposed it was a Great Blue Heron (Spn.) The beach was covered with drift wood, some of it very heavy, and was parked & appeared as if the breaker had been washing over it. The creek was flowing clean to the ocean, but followed the Bluffs to the eastward & nearly to the point. The breakers washed nearly to the bluff at the point. We walked down the beach to the mouth of the creek and back, saw a heron (Spn) but no shunks. As we drove up the road on the east side of the gulch, we saw por-will in the road. We drove up past the J.J. Homer house and camped slightly less than 1/2 mile above there, on the east bank of the creek. We set out 10 traps with hopes of getting bait for Weasel Pete the next night.
