San Miguel Island
Santa Barbara, C. Calif.
Sept. 22, 1927
Out of 25 traps set we caught
9 Peromyscus last night and
2 this morning. We set 9 steel
sets and caught one fox. Three
other sets were sprung, one showing
the fox had been held a while
before getting away.
We caught 6 female or male mice.
I came over the brow
of a hill I had a long shot
at a fox but didn't get it. The
steel traps were set in gullies
on the south west side of
the Island. Over there I saw
a herm sitting away out on
the kelp. There were many
sea lions and very tame
playing and fishing in
the surf.
