Canis latrans
Apr. 2 Berglund Ranch, 1450 ft., 5 mi. N Corralitos, Santa Cruz Co., Calif.
Scats of coyotes are extremely numerous on the ridges in
this vicinity. In the several which we sketchfully examined,
we saw many rodent bones. I was anxious to collect up
some of these scats, especially to see if evidence of Dipos
could be found, but impending rain caused us to depart
prematurely and hastily.
Apr 7 Muddy Creek, 1000 ft., 1 mi. S Chualar Canyon, Monterey Co., Calif.
We found this afternoon a coyote skeleton, weatherworn,
but with skull still in three pieces and missing
only a few incisors. It was found in a small clearing
in a stand of Artemisia californica (dominant), Salvia
mellifera, Buchan's ap., and short grass.
