Set out 12 gopher traps (about 8 sets), 10 traps
along boundary outcrop + 83 in chaparral. This
is an area which seems very much like jacumba.
Both species of Adenostoma are present, both
comm. (the red-leafed species seems commoner in the
lower spots). The chaparral is quite tall &
+margarita
fairly open. It was quite windy & the night was
cold. I ran most of the traps after dinner.
March 31
Catch:
Dipodomys agilis - 2
Keithdomomys - 2
Paronypus tryllii - 2 (both on outcrop)
P. maniculatus - 10 (5 of these thrown
away - 3 ♀ + 2 ♂ - all seem sexually active)
Paronycus californicus - 2 (1 on outcrop)
Thomomys bottae - 1
After skinning catch, I filled up all gopher
traps & caught 1 more T. bottae & c Dipodomys
agilis. These last 2 we gutted before breaking
camp. Birds were not too numerous. We noticed
my Ravens, Oregon juncos, Scrub jays, Green-
Wk Goldfinch & hardly House Finches.
Nowhere along the stretch from Tijeras to
Ranorozo did there appear to be good D. mariani
habitat. Nevertheless, it is conceivable that
they may occur rarely, or disperse things,
