Lepus californicus
Silmoce Mad River Ford, 2700 ft., above Ruth, Trinity Co., Calif.
1933
May 26, 1933
Fairly common in canyo valley bottom thru
brush and in open. Have seen as many as
six in one bunch. Extremely hard to get;
very wary and when alarmed immediately
take to deep cover in fringe of timber. That
is, they hunt cover rather than the open
for safety. Rather reddish in coloration.
May 29, 1933
Two taken today, one by Behle
and other by Brummell. Both taken
at edge of timber where they had
taken refuge from the open flats.
Horse Mt., 4700 ft.-5200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 1, 1933
One seen on top of ridge. Open country
all way on west to Redwood Creek.
Rabbit sign, mostly old, seen commonly
in rocky or bushy areas. Perhaps not
Jack Rabbits but Brush or Snowshoe
Rabbits.
