Itinerary
Glade Cr., 250 ft. ½ mi. N Columbia R., Benton Co., Wash.
Neotoma cinerea and three woodrats here had
taken advantage of driftwood and brush
around the base of willows near the creek
bed and used this as a nest, very similar to
those of Neotoma fuscipes, where these bred near
the base of trees. Nests of cinerea here were also
seen around fallen logs where brush had
accumulated.
In this region along the creek there is abundant
wild clover, willow, rushes, Russian thistle, nettles,
sedges, and cheat grass and Artemisia along the
bank. Caught 2 Neotoma cinerea (♂ adults) and
3 Reithrodontomys megalotis (♀♀), 2 Mus musculus (1♂
1♀), 2 Peromyscus maniculatus (1♂, 1♀), 1 Perognathus
parvus (1♂, 1♀). The Perognathus were caught
along the drier bank. There are no buildings
within miles of this creek apparently, yet Mus
seems to be well established here as others
were caught by Teris.
This afternoon some of the ranch hands, whose
name I do not know, brought in a yellow-
bellied racn, which they caught on a
ranch 4 miles east of Paterson.
