Colorado River, lower Calif., Mex.
20 mi. S. of Pilot Knott
Oct. 23, 1927
2 steel sets caught nothing.
40 mouse and rat traps caught one
perognathus ♂, one Baithrodontomys
♂, two peromyscus ♀♀,
860 Perognathus ♂ 19. g 173-84-21-5
caught under arrow weed sandy soil.
Moved or steel set to a point 20 ft
from the railroad track about
½ mile north of Camp. It is located
in the willows where there is a top
crust of clay and underneath
is the same sandy soil. The
ground around the set is heavily
covered with willow leaves.
There were many coyote, skunk,
and corn tracked on the levee
this morning. The railroad
track runs on the levee. I
shot an immature male
spring or pintail duck today.
Tonight I set 3 gopher
traps as well as resetting my
mouse traps and steel sets.
I put some dried millet around
the steel sets as well as bird food.
