Kyle Canyon, 5000', Clark Co., Nev.
july 19
Turned west and looked for a
topping site. We made camp at
Kyle Cyn. Compound, Togobee
Rthl; Forest, 7000', and drove
down the canyon. at 4500',
The habitat was creosote - querc -
blackbrush mix. I elected to
drive up the canyon to the
road leading to geopenie Spring,
here we climbed onto a mesa
along the road where the habitat
was blackbrush, Joshua Tree, yucca,
and Artrplex mixed, with some
Purple sage. We set our traps
1/2 mi. N. Hwy 39. Rodent
activity was low but present.
We set 100 live traps, in
lines of 12, 4 each side of the
road & baited with wild bird mix.
The habitat changes to canyon-
juniper woodland at 5700',
and then to ponderosa Pine -
chapbel oak forest at 7000'.
Temperature moderate low 80's at
7:00 AM. It is too dark to
set traps effectively at 9:30
