21 June Bob Zink, Susan Kaiser + I left Berkeley for a few weeks
of bird collecting at about 11:00. However, we did not leave
the Bay area (because we needed to shop, etc.) until about 1500.
We then drove along the following route to Telephone
Campground, Mendocino Natl Forest: I-80 NE to County 67,
Non E7 to I-5, Non I-5 to Willows, then Won 162
to Elle Creek, N to get W/ FH7. We then followed FH7
to Telephone Campground which we reached at about 2130.
Bob then set out 3 snap traps and after sitting around for
a while, we went to bed at about 2230.

22 June Up at 0600 (just as usual). Weather clear, calm, 9°C
inside the camper. I first checked the gas tanks (which had
been leaking — it was OK) and then I checked Bob's 3 snap
traps — he caught 1 Peromycus. By this time Bob and
Susan were up and making coffee. Since I didn't want

with 3 chebadees and 1 Fox Sparrow. Bob and Susan
returned shortly thereafter. We then decided to move on
and try to find better Fox Sparrow habitat. Habitat at
