1 April
surrounded by Anna's hummingbirds landed 6" to
the left of the carss, jumped on it and flew to a
nearby pole and started eating it. The owl stood
~ 7-9" tall, sandy bars on white belly and sandy spots
on light back - 2 black marks ~~ on back of head, yellow eyes,
no "horns", and a face smaller than a mouse. It watched
as we threw several more mice but finally was spooked.
5.5 mi W
6 P. Boylei (released)
1 Penomathus Californicus
John found 2 Gerrhonotus multicarinatus under a
log.
7.6 mi W
1 P. boylei (released)
1 P. tucui (released)
The two areas where we got P. californicus
are 11.8 & 12.3 mi W of Bodfish which corresponds
nicely to Grinnell's old 1916 locality of 12 mi down from
Bodfish where he got Californicus (assuming 1.) Bodfish
was not moved when lake Isabella was put in and 2.) this
road is the one he used). We well reset here tonite.
Returned to camp and processed animal
until ~4:15, then out and reset traps at
10.3 mi W & 7.8 mi W Mineral Hot springs
in different, but similar, areas. Then off to
