Caught in traps-
1 Signodus hispidus (yg.)
1 Peromyscus maniculates
Put these two up and then blew skulls.
After this, went out hunting birds. Shot
quatcatcher, Audubon warbler, mountain bluebird,
2 sage thrashers, robins. Got back to camp
about noon. Put up all but the robin in
the afternoon. At 4:00 P.M. went over trap-
live again. Had caught 2 adult Signodoros
and one young. The young individual was

same area, seeming to indicate the presence
of a nest.
Put up the robin and the young Sigmodor
after dinner tonight.
