L. M. Boyers 1932 Waltham Cr., 4 ½ mi S.E. Priest Valley 82 1850 ft, Fresno Co., Calif. December 25, 1932 a green-backed female.. They seemed to be mixed in with the Laurence Goldfinches. In the late afternoon we both set out traps after hunting for rabbits. I saw one Cottontail, outlined against the sky on an open slope 75 yds. away when it had become almost totally dark. I set out about 35 traps over the oak covered high-up flats and set some around the Perognathus holes that are so numerous on the semi-open oak spotted slopes. Set out total trap lines when it was pitch black, by flashlight and a heavy mist came in obscuring objects over 20 yds away. Got hung up on gulch brink, bordered by a second and didn't find my way out for a good half hour. Saw one live Dipodomys on way down, tried to get it alive but couldn't. Did succeed in getting a live one by setting a couple of traps on either side of a brush and driving the Dipodomys into one of them. This was caught by one foot.
