Bonduan, JT 1942 Itinerary Apr. 1 Berghand Ranch, 2 mi NW 5 mi A Corralito, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. The nest with mixed peanut butter and oats. The Microtus was trapped in an open grassy spot filled with dry stalks of Compositae flowers. Holes resembling those of Dipodomys afforded none of these rodents. Dipodomys, P. californicus, and Reithrodontomys and P. maniculatus were taken along the upper edge of a sloping strip of chaparral which stretches horizontally around the draw between two areas of apple plantings. This chaparral was largely Baccharis and mixed with Lotus sp. at the lower end and, at the upper edge, with blackberry, Leamthus sp., manzanita, poisonvale. From the top of the hill this afternoon, we could look down upon Monterey Bay to the south, a beautiful sight, giving what seemed real topographical insight into our surroundings. The ridge are covered with short, green grass and occasional clumps of Baccharis. Stiff dry stalks of fence-high Compositae and occasional blackberry vines. Small Monterey and coulteri pines have been planted here by the Soil Conservation. Mr. Hawbicher said they were planted four years ago. Some are already ten feet high, but most are about shoulder height. This afternoon we reset the traps (did not pick them up this morning). We picked up some of the lower traps and a good many of those in the upper meadowy spot and set these out on a hillside west of our original trapline. Mrs. Grinell proved herself an excellent lizard-catcher today, bagging several Sceloporus with nooses.
