Hafner, M.S. 1974 Journal 11 October (cont) 11.8 mi. E Boron, San Bernardino Co. 2500ft. California sight to the South of camp. About 1/2 hour later Darcy noticed the fox within about 8 meters of where we were standing. The fox squinted its eyes as I shined my searchlight toward it, but did not retreat for several seconds. We followed the fox for a short while and watched it rub its cheek on a telephone pole nearby and then retreat again to the south. The fox was completely silent - there was no wind and yet we heard nothing. 12 October 11.8 mi E Boron, San Bernardino Co. 2500ft. California 0700 We arose and checked traps with the following results: 9 Dipodomys merriami 4 Perognathus longimembris Success: 13/206 = 6% Our original hope was to find a place where only D. merriami lives, and we believe this is the place.
