The muskrat as 1317 was shot on a
platform of sticks raised a couple of
inches above the surface of the water
in the reservoir. The platform rested
on a submerged Quail Brush
lusk, the platform consisted
of short sticks 1/3 inch in diamete
and matted together with mud
+ droppings. I saw a Bob cat
twight across the canal but
a shot of sips only hastened
its speed. It seem very large
and of a Greyish hue. (C)
Caracara stole bait from
one of my traps this morning
as I saw him eating it
and found what was left when
he flew off.
