\n½ mi. E., Misamonte 3500 ft., Fresno Co.,
Colby,
December 16, 1932
I saw several wood rat nests, but
nothing that looked very fresh.
Deer tracks, brush rabbit tracks,
fox tracks, and coyote tracks were
exceedingly common. On the last
part of the trip I set out 35
mouse traps. The ground is covered
in its protected spots with from
two to four inches of snow, that
supposedly fell three or four days
ago.
December 17, 1932
Up at six thirty, breakfast, and
out on the trap line, but it rained
during the night and many were
sprung and the others had nothing
in them. A large part of the snow
was melted by the rains. No new
birds were seen or heard except a Colaptes
cafer, I heard and several Regulus
caleudula, one of which I shot. After hunting
variously for brush rabbits for about
two hours I returned to camp and
shot a Pipilo furcatus on the way.
I put up one bird and then got
lunch, after which I spent until 4 o'clock
