2.0 mi. E. Big Pine, Inyo Co., California
October 14.
Left for Angeles about 9:00 A.M. and drove
North to Big Pine on Route 14 and 395, arriving
about 2:30 pm. Set up camp at Baker Creek
camp ground, 3/4 mi. W. of Big Pine, arrived to
set traps at 6:00 pm Sun set at 5:42,
but it remained light for some time.
Set a "grid" of 6 lines, 4 line of 18
traps and 2 lines of 14 traps, at 10 m.
intervals. 102 traps in all. Moon is
nearly full. Aztyral Temperature in the
mid-70's; The nights are in the mid-
30° F's. Overcast much of the night. Began
pulling up traps at 7:20. Catch: 1 Cupidomys
depetzi (marked), 3 D. merriami (1 marked); 9 R
murrops (4 marked); 2 O mychoya torredes
(marked); total 15 animals, 12 marked from
my trapping of September 26-27. As compared
to that date, there is little overall change in
species composition. Returned at 5:00 pm and
re-set my grid of 100 traps. It is cooler
and windier today; will probably be clear tonight.
