J.M. Boyers 1932 \n1/2 mi. E. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. 62 December 17, 1932 had been taken about a week ago, but was thrown away, without even taking the skin off. The conversation with the people here, especially those that trap during the winter, we have found out that locally the following fur animals are taken: Mountain lion- Bob cat- Coyote (Valley) Gray Fox (common) Red Fox (rare) Striped Skunk (common) Spotted " ("") Weasel- Brush Rabbit (not common) This evening from 4 to 5:30 when it was dark, I hunted up a creek bottom that was bordered on one side by a meadow with fairly high grass, partly under snow and shot another Pipilo fusces and saw and heard Hairy woodpeckers, Robins, Lark Jays, and Hummingbirds. A line of 35 traps was set along and bordering on the creek, some in the snow and some not.
