3 mi No. Trinidad, 300 ft Humboldt Co., Calif
myths swablin was collected. Tracks of deer
on th sand and numerous trails coming
down to the beach indicate that the deer
do frequent this beach. At 11 PM two great-
horned owls were heard calling from the
tall timber back of camp. Attempts was
made to call them in but all they would
do was talk.

At 8:30 I looked over my trap line that
was set out Dec. 31. This of the traps
contained Reithodontomys but the specimens
had been destroyed by shrews. 3 traps contained
Oromyces and one trap set on the edge
of the rushes along a flooded part of pasture
contained a Sorex lendirii #59♀. About
11 AM a Goshawk was seen soaring and flying
over the tall timber back of camp.
Jan 3.
Departed from camp at 7:30 and headed
north to Big Lagoon by car. We arrived along
the north shore just before eight o'clock. The
sun had not then come over the top of the
mountain. All of the ground was frost covered
and many small puddles were frozen. I walked
from th end of the bridge, highway 101 to the east
along the north shore. The Ruddy and Scotis
tilcks were numerous in the deep water. A few
Canvas-Backs and Grebes and Brandt Cormorant
