RIBBLE, D.O. 1986 Journal 13 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., CA. June (tent) I failed to measure some of the last captures because of the length of time it was taking to check all traps. It finished around 1130. The sun burned the clouds off earlier, around 0930. The wind is gusting up to 20mph, and it is fairly cool (upper 70s). After lunch, I investigated refuge sites #3..the # indicated the animal sometime 1964(station II-2).The hole started about 1m from the uphill end of a log. I turned over the log and found a crude system of passageways winding under the log through leaf litter, rocks, and bark. Not much digging would be required to maintain this system. A few acorn shells were found. At the furthest uphill point 2 rocks, each about 180mm across formed a crevice. When I pulled these over, 1964 was sitting in a core formed between the rocks & the uphill slope. It is drier than the rest of the system and contains acorn shells, and some small seeds. 1964 turned away. Area covered w/ poison oak, "aspen"-like plant. Canopy is oak [illegible] 1965 (Station II-2). This escape site was among a group of rocks and litter. The largest rock was about 35cm across. Underneath of the rocks and to the sides was a system of passageways. No animal appeared, but I did find acorn shells & a pile of 10-15 seeds from the bait mix used in the traps. This shelter was about 12m from the stream on a slope of about 30%.
