May 21 Pescion Bald State Park Meadow C, Calif.
Results of trapline set on preceding night were: 5 Sorex pacificus, 5 Sorex sp. (?), 11 Oecomys monomachus, 3 Neurotrichus gibbsii (total 24/8?)
Francis and I prepared 18 of total catch,
discarded 2 Peromyscus, 1 shrew mole, ? others.
8 traps were sprung with bait gone but no
catch. On preceding night in meadow just
past of our camp, near the creek and just to
north thumbleberry shrubs, we found a Zapus
varius caught and struggling in our second
trap. The animal struggled free and escaped
before we could capture it. On thoughts
of May 21 as we didn't set a trapline once
we planned to dig gophers near the ocean
on the next day.
