"Journal" Hagner, M.S. 1975 4 April 5 mi. E. California City, Kern Co., 2500', California. 1700 Dacey, Baron and I left L.A. and arrived at this locality at dusk. Dacey wasn't feeling too well (expecting in November) so I set out 200 traps in 4 lines from camp. In Larrea, Atriplex, Chrysothamnus community. There were many yellow annuals blooming forming a low, yellow carpet. The night was cold and windy. I noted 1 call of an Onychomys while setting traps (~1930). 5 April 5 mi. E. California City, Kern Co., 2500', California. 0830 - wind died down - I checked traps with following results: 23 Perognathus formosus 5 Onychomys torridus 9 Dipodomys merriami 3 Dipodomys peninsularis 8 Perognathus longimembris 48/200 = 24% success I was surprised not to catch any Peromyscus. Clouds moved in ~0930 and a light rain fell. We decided to head home as trapping would not be too good after a rain. 1200 - headed for L.A.
