Alcorn 1936. Peromyscus truei 3-mi. SW Leabontan Dam, 4/100ft., Churchill Co., Nev. March 28 1 ♀ + 1 ♂ big eared mouse was found in this location. Along the waters edge where much wood & small sticks had drifted from the Lehotan reservoir waters the wood rats had built large nest or houses by pile stacking these sticks up to heights of 2 to 3 feet and from 2 to 5 ft across. Expecting to find a wood rat I tore this pile of sticks down and out ran two Peromyscus truei and 2 Peromyscus maniculatus.
