Lone Pine Station, Inyo Co., California
April 29
How I set 3 line of 20 live traps and 2 lines
of 24 muskrat speices, all perpendicular to the road
and to the south:
There was only 1 cat in 3 hours on the road
East of Lone Pine Station, where the station itself was
fairly large.
April 30
It was a warm night. Got up at 5:00 pm and I'd guess it was almost 4. No fatalities from the cold.
No moon or wind -- a supposedly "ideal"
night to trap. Results of 46 live traps at
L.P. Stn., got 4 O. musys, H.P. merimus,
1 Peromyscus moniculatus and 1 Perognathus
longimembris. In the 4 of snap traps I
got only 1 P. longimembris. At 1.3 mi.
E. Lone Pine Station, I had very poor
luck. 1 O. musys and 1 P. longimembris in
50 live trap and nothing at all in the
snap traps. I could almost suspect --
a personly argym, so far killing
mosquitos, reduced the rodent population
here, as The habitat showed much promise --
lizard sign, etc.
