Neotoma fuscipes
Sep 3-4 Braunran Mtn, 3700, 3400 ft. Humboldt b. Calif.
one was caught in a Schuyler trap set amid
tall dense "chaparral" of manzanita - Quercus
sp.- and Ceanothus unastes. The trap was set
just S of the main peak where one of the
high pitched voices chipmunks had scolded me
on Sep 1. no wood rat nest was visible
from the trapping site.
another was caught in a Schuyler trap set
at an entrance to a 2 1/2 ft. high nest
at the 3700 ft. level. The nest was placed
along one side of a somewhat over the middle
of an 8" diameter barkless log. materials
included in it nest were the usual twigs
+ slabs of Pinus jeffreyi or ponderosa bark
up to 8" long and 4" wide + a few dried
and green twigs (including leafage) of manza
nita. The site is on the N. facing slope
in open pine forest with some Douglas fir
admixed (see Journal, p. 105)
