Pathfield - 1934 Colo. R. 1/2 mi. N Calif. - New. Monument, 500 ft. Clarkla, New. 337 February 9, 1934 Caught in traps - One immature gopher. The gopher population seems to have been reduced. Changed most of sets in morning to what appeared to be fresh workings. However, it is rather difficult to tell whether or not workings are fresh, since some which were fresh 2 weeks ago appear exactly the same now. Shot a Say Phoebe and 3 Zonotrichius all gambeli, from 3 different flocks. In afternoon went hunting on the island. Shot an Audubon warbler, 2 juncos, a pipit, a marsh wren In afternoon, late, went to agricultural experiment station 7 miles north of camp to look for Neotoma albigula. We had been told by Snyder, an Indian here, that there are two kinds of woodrats, large and small, and that the Indians have a name for each. The large ones, he said, were found near this experiment station. Fitch and I went up there, but found no signs at all of Neotoma. There were many fresh gopher wombs around.
