LIDICKER 1959 After picking traps in AM, I made 2 steel sets (#1) for skunks along the canyon wall using bird carcass + 1/2 a rabbit carcass for bait. Also set one new set trap for Neotoma - rocks on way back to comfort bunk saw car, bats, a javy-will, & a pair of white-tailed jack around Preista. Finished setting jack rabbit after dark. June 23 Checked traps; caught 2 Neotoma albivola from nyssca thicket sets - left out 4 constructed sets where 1 was one. Caught nothing in bottom of canyon & only 1 Eutamias from bunch grass line which I then picked up. Nothing in skunk sets or other Neotoma traps; also nothing in 4 Squirrels-traps in grass. Set 2 gopher traps near nyssca's end of canyon. Flushed 2 & Meari's Quail together - encircled. They gave "mewy" call as they flew away. This is the area where Ward had shot car. & & + there may be 2 "wildcat" ??. Skinned catch, strung up 2 drops of skulls to dry, & dug new garbage pit (with George). Had 3 brief showers around noon. After lunch, I went with Leopold & Ward to jack in a fresh white-tail which Ward shot in the canyon near the cabin. After returning I skinned a Dryocopus for Dave & caught up on note writing. Set steel trap (#1) for C. variegatus at end of new line in bottom of canyon in AM. Set out 10 mus, 5 pec. along like at Preista in bread for
