P. Brylska 1981 Journal ~16 mi N. Jolon along county Rd. G 18, Fort Hunter-Liggett, Monterey C., Calif Elev. 2200' Ground squirrels, acorn woodpeckers are common here. Bobcat scat was found on the fire roads but didn't see any coyote scat. 55 live traps & 50 snap traps were set in the chaparral habitat. 31 July 1am Start checking traps. 12 pm Park at Hunter-Liggett Fishing Pond. Captures are as follows: Neotoma fuscipes 3 Peromyscus maniculatus: 6 P. truei 10 Perognathus californicus 3 Peromyscus californicus 3 Dipodomys 6 ------- 31 Trap success was therefore quite high, considering that 15 snap traps were sprung w/o captures. One Dipos & one adult Neotoma were caught in the snap trap lines. In both cases, the animals were caught behind the neck. The Dipos was still alive when I found it this a.m. The sprung museum specials are mostly attributed to These two species. Everything save the live trapped Dipo's & Perognathus were pickled. One P. truei was found to have embryos (see catalogue # 333). The live Dipos will be sexed & either pickled or kept alive when we arrive in Berkeley. 1 pm after a swim in Milpitas Reservoir, leave for Berkeley.
