Boulderu, JT 1942 44 Itinerary Apr. 6 Muddy Creek, 750 ft., Chualar Canyon, Monterey Co., Calif. and deer tracks in the mud of the road. Viola was about 5 minutes behind me and saw a bobcat cross the road. Many sown-tits were heard from the hill-sides. A flock of about 25 crows were flying about. Several vultures were seen. Later this afternoon about 4:30 PM we went back up the road with our traps and set them on the mountainside above the meadow which is about 1 mile up Muddy Creek. Apr. 7 Heavy dew last night. Skies cloudy all day, but no rain. A fog in the morning and air quite chilly. The places in which we set traps might be divided roughly into four types. We started setting out traps in a flat between the hills at a point about one mile up Muddy Creek from Chualar Canyon; we climbed more or less straight south-facing slope and laid out traps as we went. 1 Flat area at base of hill, 1000 ft. in elevation, grown with Artemisia californica (dominant), Salvia mellifera, Baccharis, and short grass. 37 traps set, 5 sprung. Catch: 1 Neotoma (wimm?), 2 Reithrodontomye (?), 1 Peromyscus maniculatus (?), and 1 toad. 2 Steep area, 1100 ft. in elevation, ground washed, growth of Salvia mellifera, no ground cover. 15 traps set, 2 sprung without catch. Animals caught: 2 Peromyscus (either boylii or truei) ? 3 Long slope, quite steep - about 35° slope averaging 1400 ft. in elevation. Growth of Salvia mellifera (dominant), Artemisia californica, Lotus sp., and short grass, Baccharis, and a few ferns (Bracken, Pellon, and gold-fern). 62 traps set
