1/2 mi. E. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., '64
Cali.
December 18, 1932
After that we went to a place
3 mi. W. Miramonte and set out traps
for Peromyscus calif in moss-covered,
boilder-strewed, Madrone and Manzanita
covered slopes. Wood-rat sets were
also made in some of the frequent nests.
A Western Shitcather was seen here
as well as a White Wren (1 mi.
W. Miramonte) to add to the bird list.
One also reported Evening Grosbeaks
and Bewick Wrens. We heard
Wrentits and Plain-titmouse, but
so far haven't been able to record
any. No bush rabbits were seen
at either of these locations West of
Miramonte. Also those down this morning
were moving down hill at between
8:00 and 8:30. The sun was just setting,
the crest of the hill and they were
coming down from the ridge proper
toward the still-shaded canyon.
Neither specimen 296 or 297
had infected livers or kidneys or
intestines by external examination,
and Oar's specimens 877, 878 & 879
were not infected in these same
areas. Blood smears were made.
The weather was warmer today.
