Phenacomys longicaudus (1)
Gilmore
Mad R. ford, 2400 ft., above Ruth, Trinity Co., Calif.
1933
May 23, 1933
Examined was what was apparently
an old nest. It was of dried Douglas
fir needle construction in small
Song fir near creek. About 20' from ground and 6' from trunk. No
other nests seen.
Horse Mt., 4700-5200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 7, 1933
No evidence of Phenacomys nests here.
Coyote Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 44, 1933
Behle found the crushed carcass of
one in the main road. Subsequent
search for fresh nests failed to reveal
any (but several dozen?) old nests were
located by Grumme & Behle. The large
old Song-Fir trees seem to have some
nests in them, where nests are to be expected, fail to
have many.
