Journal Hubner, M.S. 1976 20 February (cont) Vicinity S of Fresno, Fresno Co., California 1500 Drive S on Hwy 43 to the Tulare-Kern Co line, where I set 5D traps along a fence runned E from the road. Set traps at interface between the brush along the fence and the open field adjacent. The field was natural habitat - but full of puddles. Ground was hard-pack mainly due to recent rains. Fairly dense Suaeda fruticosa along fence (about 0.7 meters tall). Some Astrigales (polycarpa) and very few Haplopappus (?). I continued S on Hwy 46 then turned W on the road to Kern Wildlife Refuge. Stopped at a patch of natural habitat on the S side of the road and again set 50 Sherman's. Only shrub is plant Astrigales Polycarpa about 0.5-1 meter tall and averaging about 8 meters spacing. Occasional patches of "lawn- like" annual grasses - few open spaces with mainly Spermolophus leechyi diggings. Some apparent Dipodomys holes. I continued W on the road to the Wildlife Refuge then turned S on the Hwy bordered the refuge (to the E). I set 5D traps just S of the Refuge in an area dominated by Salicornia (subterminalis?) 0.5 - 1.2 meters tall about 5 M average spacing. A continual "lawn" of low grasses covered substrate. There were occasional Salsola iberica
