Balds 1960 Journal June 8 6 1/2 mi S, 4 3/4 mi W Susanville, 6400 ft, Lassen C., Calif. On the S & E facing slopes there are some springs or seeps, and here there is some extensive grass, at the heads of these areas there are large clumps of Alder and Willow. This is the closest thing to White-crowned Sparrow habitat I've seen yet, but there aren't any. At sunset I stood on the highest point available, could see both Lassen & Shasta. Set my 5 mouse traps at camp, as I have done each night, caught 1 Peromyscus. There are lots of mole voleships, chipmunks & ground squirrel holes, Lots of deer in area.
