1934
July 18
I gathered up my traps - finding
very few animals near camp.
The 10 traps set near the river yielded
one Reithrodonomys megistus and
one Peromyscus maniculatus.
In the pasture, once in alfalfa, I got
two Peromyscus maniculatus and
shot two horned larks and a young
Pigeon Jay. In the rocks and
Atriplex I found a Bergomys
longimembris panaminticus, that's
a big catch out of 24 traps set.
In returning to camp I noted
signs and nest of Woodrats. Palmer
and I went up to Morgans Ranch
and set out gopher traps. I noted
more mole workings than gophers.
During the mid-day I put up skins.
In the evening Palmer and I
visited our gopher sets and
found only one Thomomys bottae.
On the way back I stopped off and
set out 50 traps on the rock strewn
rolling table land. I including
some set traps where I had noted
signs this morning. Set some traps
where the rock was quite red - wonder
whether the color of the mice will match.
Found 2 Phossomys platyhinus mile setting traps
