Hefner, Ms. 1973 Journal 25 Nov.-"Campsite #1," 9.5 mi. N. Johannesburg, Rt. off Troya Johannesburg Rd., San Bernardino Co., 3200 Caly. Set traps yesterday afternoon in groups of 20, at roughly even intervals between Campsite #1 and the intersection of Johannesburg road and the highway between Ridgecrest and Troya. This gave a representative trapping of both the Larrea dominant community and the Atriplex dominant community. (and intervals in between). As mentioned above, it rained for 1/2 hours last evening which might explain the poor results: 5 Dipodomys merriami 2 Ammospermophilus leucurus The Dipo's were caught in the Larrea community, though there was Dipso. evidence in both communities. One squirrel was caught in each community - at the two extremes of the trapping area.

Hafner m.s. 1973 Journal 30 Dec. 3:00 PM. - Tijunga Canyon, approx. 10 mi. N.E. of Sunland - near tree farm on hill to right of road past big bridge 1/4 mi. (new road marker "7.43", Los Angeles Co. Calif. 2500). John Hafner, Kevin & Kenny Ramsey and I set 120 live traps and 150 snap traps in same local as Set #4 of 28 Dec 1973. This is the locality I had caught Dipodomys agilis. Slight uphill grade, varying from sparse Odonostoma (sp.) community to more lush growth (all bushes) in area immediately N. of young grove of pines planted perhaps 15 years ago. Ground shows much evidence of recent (5-10 yrs) ago fire. Area in which Dipodomys caught somewhat less dense in vegetation than surrounding vegetation. 31 Dec. Tijunga Canyon, near marker "7.43" adjacent to tree plantation (as above) 7:00 AM. Checked traps: 10 Dipodomys agilis 1 Microtus (californicus) ? 18 Peromyscus sp. 16 Neotoma fuscipes Success: 35/270 = 13% John reported seeing evidence of (Tree) squirrels in adjacent pine grove [all specimens given to Texas Tech.

In the catch last night, there was a definite positive correlation between darkness of substrate and numbers of P. formosus captured. 1300 - I took another short walk noting another Costa's Hummer (o) and a q White Crowned Sparrow. Several Ammospermophilus leucurus were seen on the hillsides. I photographed the nest that I had discovered while setting traps yesterday and noted a pair of House Finches who were apparently the crooners, The alternating A-B-A-B-etc songs of the Desert Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata) were heard throughout the day. In a small canyon about 200 meters from camp (SE'wardly) I found another nest like the one noted yesterday (6" ball) - I still have not seen any bird life around it.

Trapping Success: 24/150 = 22%. This Onychomys was my first live captured specimen (and it died the following night from apparent stress.) The strong musky odor associated with this genus was very evident. It is our long held belief that Onychomys are escaping from our traps by methodically lifting open the door - this has yet to be tested experimentally. Several of our specimens, although vigorous when captured, have died in the following days - we attribute this to the fact that we are catching nearly all immature animals who are perhaps unable to cope with the stress of being captured - 1400- Paul and I entered a small cave (mine) very near camp and

Hafner, m-s 1974 Journal \n9 mi. N. Johannesburg, in "Copper-Colored" hills 1 mi. E of Trona Rd. San Bernardino Co. 3200' Calif. \n20 April observed a very interesting wood-rat (cat) (Neotoma lepida) nest. The cave was approx. 1.5 meters high, 1.5 meters wide and 10 meters deep. Very little light was apparent at the deepest point. A carcass of a freshly killed mourn- ing Dove was lying about 1/4 way in the cave and a dried-up Neotoma carcass was on the cave floor about 3/4 of the way in. When I was about 1/3 of the way in the cave, I noticed a sub-ad. Neotoma clinging to the rocks of the walls about 1 meter from my side - the woodrat soon quickly ran out the entrance to the cave and disappeared from view into the sunlight outside. At the very end of the cave was a large apparently very old woodrat nest with several entrances and much evidence of use. The 2 adults soon emerged and watched me, showing little fear. The smaller of the two was startled by my movement and climbed the back wall of the cave to a height of

The nest itself was about 2 m. wide by about 3 meters long and 2 ft deep. There were 3 main entrances visible and 2 shallow bird-nest-like indentations were on top of the nest about 2 meters apart - their function is unknown. This cave could be very interesting for future study of Neotoma during daylight conditions. Later in the P.M. we took a short walk noting a young fledgling house Finch and a Jackrabbit (Lepus). One of the nests (House Finch) that I had checked earlier now had 4 young and 1 egg instead of 1 young and 4 eggs as seen yesterday. A subed. Red-tailed Hawk was sighted in the late P.M. and a Zebra-tailed Lizard was kicked up in the sand, apparently too cold to flee. 1700 - We set traps near the small rock out cropping by the side of Trona Rd near the dirt road leading to Camp # 1.

Dave and Diane were here since this A.M. No moon, strong wind, not especially cold. In the AM we walked about 1 mile S. of camp into low hills. We sighted a Western Tanager and Lesser Goldfinch. Mourning Doves (desert variety?) were very common as were their nests and eggs. Nests were very poorly constructed cups on ground beneath bushes. Eggs were always 2, pure white. We noted one nest with 2 young approx. 1/2 feathered. On the hills to the S. of camp Dave showed us some pocket gopher (Thomys) digging.

The Dipodomys were usually sub. ad. about even numbers of each sex. Of special interest was the Thomomys (sub. ad ♂) - an apparent case of dispersal - the nearest gopher diggings as far as we know are 1-2 miles S.W. of trapping site. The Perognathus were released, the live Dipodomys returned to lab for study. The remainder of the AM day was spent collecting insects. 11:30 - departed for home.

Approx 2:00 Pm. we arrived in Mason Valley (Atriplex association) and we drove over a very rough sandy road to the Walker River where we had a swim. The river was muddy, cool and very fast moving (approx 30 m wide at this point) The area nearby (where we swam) was planted in clover for dairy cattle and the marsh-like land made good habitat for the many ducks and magpies we observed. (John found an arrowhead on the walk from the car to the river! :) On our way back to the car John noted a very large (Redtail ?) nest high in a tree - we could not identify the tree type nor see any young in the nest from a nearby hill (we did not suspect young to be in the nest in mid-June). We returned to camp, noting a Collared-lizard on rocks nearby the road.

Many of the D. looked like D. panamintinus and many looked superficially like D. heermanni. However, tthere were many morphs which appeared intermediate. There appeared to be slight behavioral differences between the various morphs, in that, the D.(h.) & often reached sand at me as I tried to pull it from the trap, the D.(p) morphs did this much less often. 0630 — We left the trapping site and at ~ 7:00 we broke our fan belt and were forced to stop in a small town near Lancaster. We had to go to 5 Gas Stations and waste 2 hours before we could get a new belt and have it installed — the attendants were very uncooperative and offered little help — Needless to say, Dancy didn't get to work on time, but this was otherwise a successful trip.

I will now change localities to find a place where D. merriami exists in allopatry from D. parainitens. 0900 We broke camp and moved to "Campsite 1."

Hofner, M.S. 1974 Journal 15 September 16 Mi. W. Hawthorne, 5600', Lyon Co., Nevada. 1130 - John and I left L.A. - arrived Lee Vining ~ 1800. We drove over California Hwy 167 and took the turnoff to Larkin (dry) Lake. We had planned to trap near Alkali dry lake, but the road was impassable so we drove over dirt road northealy towards Aurora, Nevada. Sunset was ~ 2000. Soon after sunset John noticed a Microdipodops (megacephalus) run across the road and easily climb a ~1/2 meter rock boulder near the road. Although this genus is found almost exclusively on sandy, flat desert floors, they appear to be quite nimble on rocks. We drove past Fletcher, Nevada roughly and took the road SNE / toward Yerington. We camped at the above locality about 2100 at which time we set out 727 live traps around camp. The vegetation consisted almost entirely of some species of Atriplex (we think). There were very few Chrysotthamnus (sp.) - often associated with Microdipodops megacephalus.

Hawthorne, 5600', Lyon's Co., Nevada cross the East Walker River at a point near the "Flying M Ranch" but we were rudely kicked off the property by the woman owner of the ranch. We drove further north along the dirt road on the west side of the river (the road leads to Yerington, Nevada), and turned E/2N on "Rafter 7" Road which lead across the river. We checked-out localities and then re-crossed the river, immediately turning North on a dirt road paralleling the bank of the river. We noted several very large nests in large trees along the river, one nest having a Red-tailed Hawk perched nearby. We walked to the locality where John had lost his suitcase during our trip in June, but we could not find it. -150's- We ate lunch and waded in the river which was too cold to really swim in. We noted evidence of where a (Racoon?) had eaten a crayfish on a small sandbar near the riverbank.

We saw evidence of recent Beaver (Castor) work or logs nearby the river and later exploration found many more knawed logs and fairly recent Beaver runways in the grass. A sample of the knawed wood and leaves from the dominant trees were returned for further information. 1600 - we set 140 live traps on the east side of Walker river at a point 13.5 mi. North and 18 mi. West of Hawthorne, Nevada. Although the habitat looked somewhat unfavorable for Microdipodops, we choose a wash that looked reasonable good (i.e. Sandy soil). We then drove back across to the west side of the river and returned [illegible] to a point 4.5 mi. N. and 20.5 mi. W. of Hawthorne, Nevada where we set 160 live traps.

We arrived in Pine Grove ~ 1205 and we tot lunch beneath shady pines trees and just relaxed in the coolness. We later explored one of the many mines in this area - (a historical marker said that one mine here made $5 million between 1860-8 and another made $3 million - mostly gold, some silver). The shaft we went into contained no boats, but was amazing anyway; the opening was a very precise archway about 1.5 meters high (below head height), the floor was very level and there were only a few minor cave-in's on the sides of the shaft. We followed it in approx 140-150 meters where it branched, cave-in's further on made us decide to turn back. 1500 - we walked around the area where the miners had apparently camped - we found many parts of old bottles and other keepsakes. 1600 - We Set 305 live traps in a very sandy, (sparsely brush)ed area south of Yerington. There was much evidence of rodent activity, and I noted an old Badger burrow.

N. of Mojave at 0830. We proceeded to measure vegetation spacing and density as per the following method: a string 25 meters long was stretched in the N, S, E, and W directions from a randomly chosen central location. Each plant (perennial) that touched the string was measured and identified. We used greatest overall breadth of the plant and this was multiplied by our "density factor", i.e., the percentage of a 3x5" index card that was NOT visible when the card was held behind the shrub. We took several measurements of each shrub, then averaged them together to get average density. [100% would be very dense, 10% would be very sparse]. 1000- We headed towards Sand Canyon locality where we took more vegetation samples and measurements. Soil samples were taken at the end of each 25 meter line (4 for each locality). There were patches of snow on the ground at the Sand Canyon locality ~ clear day, cold, slight wily breeze.

Drove on the west shore of Pyramid Lake through Sutcliffe to a point 13.6 mi. N. Sutcliffe. We could find no town of Pyramid, only a ranch on a small stream about 11 mi. N. Sutcliffe. We set 60 traps in the sandy soil on a small plain to the right (E) of the road. This area had originally been under water; the present shoreline was approximately 0.5 mi. away. (Habitat to be described later). The ground was covered with millions of tiny sea shells, none larger than approximately 6 mm. We noted several Zebra-tailed lizards and one specimen of Cnemidophorus. We drove south on the same road past the ranch to a point 9.4 mi. N. Sutcliffe where we stopped and set 40 traps again to the east of the road. This area was also once under water and was now loose sand. This and the above locality were (and are) being grazed by cattle. An Indian in an official trucka stopped to see if we were in trouble.

Of course the well was empty although the windmill was still turning. We let the car cool down then attempted the climb again. The car was again extremely overheated but we finally reached the summit and the car cooled as we went down the west slope of the range.

Journal Hefner, m.s. 1975 Concord, Contra Costa Co., 40oft. California 28 December 1400 learned of Costanoan Indian middle sight near present day Buchanan Airfield. (William L. McNeil). Bill and I looked through part of large pile of soil dug from about 1-2 meters below the surface by "Back-hoe" the week before. Bill had notified Prof. Savage of U.C. of the find (made by one or Bill's students actually). Savage and 2 grad. students came to the area and collected for a few hours. There appears to be no effort on Savage's part to preserve the sight site. Bill had found Indian bones on a nearby sit site about 10 years previously -- these were dated (by U.C) at about 500 yrs. BP. Since these are assumed to be part of the same indian incampment and are therefore only 700 years old, the people at U.C. aren't too interested -- We picked up several pieces of bone -- Bill found an arrowhead which he gave to me. The bones were identified (by myself) as mostly Odocivlano and Cervus. N Hwy 4 *1 = new site *2 = site where Bill found Indian bones Solano Way Buchanan airfield Hwy 24 center of concord houses
