Boulevard, St 1941 4 May 19 Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif. nettle, and some cucumber. Two traps were sprung. Place shrew-mole caught, the vegetation was very thick and the ground almost oozing. Places Microtus + one Peromyscus maniculatus caught more open & under alders, still with same vegetation, however. Grass of the meadow tall and wet with Equisetum and assorted shrubs in it here and there. While taking in traps I saw a Chestnut-backed Chickadee in an alder over the road and 3 Band-tailed Pigeons perched in tip-top of two tall alders along the creek. After bringing in traps, 7:30 AM Josephine + I hiked up North Trail, hearing the notes of chickadee, Rusty-backed Thrush, Wrentit, and several unidentifiables. Met Fran coming down babbling loudly about a queer combination of mole and shrew in an animal she trapped. Viola and Jo also got a shrew-mole this morning. I am breaking out with the poison-oaks I tramped in yesterday hunting Aplodontia burrows. Fran reported that one of the traps set in supposed Aplodontia burrows atop hill north of camp had been sprung, dragged several inches, and bait (walnut) eaten. Traps reset for tomorrow morning. 5:30 PM Went for a walk down road toward ocean. Day was very warm and sunny; just growing chill then. Saw another Band-tailed pigeon high in an alder. Heard them cooing earlier in the afternoon.
