Coyote Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 11, 1933
Since the sun came out (after 3 day
absence & drizzling fog instead) These
chipmunks have been active. Running
my trap line thru timber yesterday at
4:30-5:00 P.M. I found many of
Mouse traps in sheltered sets, under
logs & brush, sprung, and one chipmunk
in a very sheltered trap. This morning
two rat traps in skimmeway sets
among roots of large down tree feed
chipmunks. One, no 2781 had
pronges filled with a green herbaceous
leaf - probably from an annual -
and the stomach was filled with this
green leaf mash. This specimen was
probably caught during first two
hours of day light this morning; no
2780, during last two hours yesterday.
