P. Brylski 1987 Journal ~5km NE Glamis along Hwy 78, Imperial Co., Calif. 23march am without a gun. If things get too slow, I'll try a rock. 8:30 pm Spent the day stuffing kangaroo rats (Merriami), mice (P. eremicus), ground squirrels (A. leucurus), and a pocket mouse (probably Perognathus but it lost its tail so identification is difficult). Also caught several Perognathus sp. which today were kept alive. They're probably penicillatus but perhaps Formosus. Weather here is quite warm - round 25°C by 9am (probably by 7am actually), reaching 35°C in the afternoon. No clouds. Wind is unremarkably most of the day, but gusts up round 3 or 4 pm. At times it's 35-40 mph (mainly from the west) but the average is 15-20 mph. The catch last night numbered Perognathus (formosus + penicillatus ?) Dipodomys merriami Peromyscus eremicus Onychomys torridus (tossed due to extensive damage by ants) Today 4 Ammospermophilus leucurus ((tossed, due to flea damage).
