Cortez Blain 1976 Journal Aug 10. 94 traps were set on this, the night before the full moon. Following the 1/2 " rain in the Owens Valley two weeks ago, the Bolsa fremonitica is sending out new leaves, it already having flowered and dropped leaves this spring. Catch = 2 Dipodops curipes and 1 Perognathus longimembris. Aug 11. Returned this evening, again setting 94 trap -traps, this time moving East about 1/2 mile to about the longitude of Two Electric Substation. Catch was 1 P. longimembris and 2 P. penicillatus. Near the full moon, I've caught 2 and 3 % in my traps, and will defer further trapping until the new moon in hope of its causing returns. Aug 19 Returned to 1.0 mi. E. Town and set 94 Museum Special traps, with Russ Paulin assisting. The traps were set in two loops to the North and South of the Dirt trail mapped on July 20. The weather was cool, and there was a 1/4 moon. It still, hopefully, sawd night. About 4 burrow complexes were seen, but these all appeared abandoned. Aug 20 I returned alone at 6:00 am to collect traps. Caught only 2 animals: 1 Dipodops curipes and 1 Perognathus longimembris. The burrow complexes yielded no specimens.
