Culbuth 1942 Jan 16. St. Fork Mt. 4 mi N Mad River Rock, E 3100, Trinity Co., Colo. road connecting Riley's place with the county road along the Mad River made a good trail to hunt along. The first 250 yards is through Black Oak cover where the hairy woodpeckers are most frequently observed. Then the road runs through a dense stand of 12 inch DBH Douglas Fir poles for about 150 yards. In this timber the Pileolatus woodpecker, Kinglets, Chickadees, Nut-hatches, and Creepers are working. The next 200 yards of road separate the timber from the marganetta brush. Along this edge the Gray tree squirrel, chipmunks, Skells, Jays, Quail, Robins, [illegible], Junkos and Henkleys are observed. The last 200 yards of road on down to the river is out through the open short grass glade and only the Junkos were observed here. The weather today was cloudy but clearing with frost in the morning. Jan 17. Ward and I left camp at 8AM headed for the ridge on South Fork Mountain. The morning was cold with a light freeze. At 3900 feet we removed a 22 lb. male Bob-cat from one of Wards trap sets. The set was made along the trail in dense Douglas Fir. At 4000 feet in the middle of an open glade we found a bope spring
