3 mi. Nw Trinidad, 300 ft Humboldt Co., Calif
numerous birds but of few species principally
Robin, Song Sparrows, Hermit Thrush, and Winter
Wrens. & Flying high over head along th
highway and just out of the timbered area
were Two Goshawks, when last seen they
headed inland over the timber. In the
afternoon I worked around on the bench
just about camp some 50 feet. The area is
cut extensively by deer trails and cat signs
are numerous on many of the down logs
and in the deer trails. Coming along the
trail into camp I observed a chipmunk
in the trail bent over, and undisturbed
of me. I approached closer and finally
caught him by hand. But when I shined
him it was noticed that this animal
had been the victim of one of Ward
Russell's mouse traps, due to marks on the
head. This evening I set out a string of
30 mouse traps around camp. I ran
through habitats of Alder, Blackberries,
tall grass and rose thickets.
