Journal Hafner, M.S. 1976 February (cont) Vicinity S and E of Bakersfield, Kern Co., Calif. Creek Wash where Dave, Diane, Darcy and I trapped a year or so ago is no longer natural habitat but a farmers field. I drove further NE up Caliente Creek Wash and found an area of natural habitat just beyond the railroad trestle N of the road. Set 50 traps in grevelly sand in vegetation almost entirely composed of Lepidospartum squamatum up to 1.5 M tall. (5-8 m apart). 1600 Drove back to Hwy 58 the further S on Comanche Road to a point beyond Comanche Point. I tried to find natural habitat to the East, but saw none. Returned to Hwy 99 and set trap in a section of natural habitat near the Warring Rd. turnoff (west of the Hwy.). Vegetation was fairly dense plant Salicornia (subterminalis) 0.5-1.5 meters tall, 1.5 m apart with some few Atriplex lentiformis . Very little annual vegetation on substrate (and soil was hard-pack and puddled from recent rains). 1730 Drove into Bakersfield and had dinner with Donna and Rich from Fish and Game. Called Darcy and 1900 returned to the last locality. Slept the night near the Warring Rd. Off ramp (Hwy 99).
