ZIBBLE, D.D. 1986 Journal 14 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co, CA. June 7 (m) 1905-1906 (II-1). This escape site was under a large rock (~50 cm across) supported above the ground by surrounding smaller rocks. I lifted the large rock underneath was covered with acorn shells & caps. No animals were seen. 1930:1931 (II-2). This escape site was located on a steep slope, 4m high, coming straight from the stream side. It is covered with moss, ferns, blackberry, and other wise herbs. I dug out this system with my hands. The soil is very loosely packed and can be dug out easily. The passage system looked something like this (looking at side of slope) I found a kept a buckeye stood in a blind tunnel. It looks like it has teeth marks. Acorn shells (5) were also found. No clear signs of any nesting places were found. The slope is covered with numerous other holes, but I don't want to destroy the slope. 1933 (II-3) This escape site is under an old decayed log (~30 cm across). 1933 was under it and scurried away when I lifted the log. This is the least spectacular of sites seen - only a few passageways under the log in the timber. Finished the afternoon by resetting all traps on Trapline II. Later that night, I checked traps on Trapline II to see how early these animals are coming out. Unfortunately, I only got through part of station 5 and my flashlight quit working - I returned home, leaving traps closed at the stations I checked. It was clear, no moon, and in the low 40's.
