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
