1/2 mi. SE. Willow Creek, 600 ft. Trinity Co., Calif.
in its flight down the river.
Brush rabbits were observed along the truck
near the river and about 50 yards from
the river near the orchard a rabbit possibly
a Jackrabbit was seen.
In the evening I took Wad Russell to the
area along the river where so many animal
traces had been observed in the morning
and we made live sets for shunks and Coons.
During the afternoon while in camp I
heard a lot of loud calls from the California
Woodpeckers in the oaks close camp. There were
eight or nine birds and they appeared to be
paired off and attempting to mate. I observed
these birds for a half hour and numerous
attempts of the birds were observed.
Jan 13.
At 9AM I ran my traps lines to find
the same species present, this was obtained
yesterday but not in as large a percentage,
by number. The live sets were also not taken
undisturbed during the night.
Yesterday I forgot to include that a Black
Oxlock had been seen in the orchard near
the river.
I returned to camp early, picking
up my traps this morning in order to
clean up all the specimens collected yesterday.
