poibet mice still active as I found three
that had eaten poison wheat put out
for ground squirrels.
Brush rabbits were not so plentiful
as they used to be and cottontails were
becoming quite scarce in the valley.

they kept to the shelter of the orange and
lemon groves.
With the exception of the bats, all of
the animals seemed to be active and were
in very good condition.
