Certi, Blair 1976 Journal April 13 2 mi. E of Pine, Inyo Co., California. Arrived in Bishop at 2:00 p.m. with Ross Pullin. It was overcast and light rain was falling. We were unable to contact anyone at WM #5, so set snap traps at Big Pine, off of the road to the JPL radio telescopes. Since it rained, I decided not to set any live traps. It rained April 14 throughout the night. The catch was 2 Orophia merrilli and 6 Peromyscus maniculatus on 0. mircro were taken. It appears I'll have to try for more O. mericops when I stop at the Research station. The weather cleared today, accompanied by a 20 mph wind. Tonight I will set out 200 live traps in the area N of solar valley #1 and S and E highway 168. The weather cleared and became sunny, but somewhat windy towards evening. The 100 snap traps were left set in place and 200 live traps in 4 rows of 30 and 2 rows of 40. Catch was not terribly good, got April 15 20 O. micops, but 12 were HOT and 2 ? were juvenile. Kept 6 ?, but only 4 survived the trip. Also got 13 O. merrilli, 1 Peromyscus maniculatus, and 7 Perognathus longevipes. The weather was scattered clouds today, zone wind. It took from 5:30 to 9:30 to collect traps. Snap traps produced 3 O. mericaps and 5 Peromyscus maniculatus.
