Gullion 1949 Journal. -177- Sept 5 Red Mtn., 14 mi. S Hayfork, 5300 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. Washer at the top of the grade, and coming from Philpot Creek & Rattlesnake Creek on the Red Mtn. road we flushed 2 Valley Quail at the 4300 ft. elevation on Rattlesnake Ridge. A ways above these a spotted fawn bounced along the road ahead of us. We finally found a small spring to camp by in the draw just east of the point 5424 ft about halfway between Duba Bella and Red Mtn. (U.S. G.S. Abaglin Quadrangle, edition of 1935) I set out 1 small steel, 3 rat traps and 6 Schuyfers for flying squirrels, placing them all about 5 to 7 feet above the ground and large trees scattered in the woods around the spring. Also set a Schuyfer and a snap trap by the log at the head of my bed. After supper I went hunting and collected a Poorwill on the Canthus covered slope in the saddle just south of camp. Flushed out a Mourning Dove from a Douglas Fir between the Cold Spring Campground and the head of the valley along Philpot Creek 1/2 mi Peanut S of Hayfork. Sept 6 same locality - Took a Flying Squirrel last night in a trap set in camp baited with a june- also took a Townsend Chipmunk in a rat
