Dry sandy wash association. Spent all day trapping and preparing gophers. Trapped one gopher that was partially letten away (left two side of neck) in the trap. Caught a Kangaroo Rat by the tail in a gopher and secured the specimen and trap only after digging about 4 ft down along the burrow. Found deer tracks and saw the first cottontail seen so far. The only wild flowers that I recognize are Teeps, Wild Daisy, and Batchelm Button. Saw quite a few butterflies and one Lava. My steel trap resulted in a dead White footed Mouse.
