Itinerary
Staywhile Spg., 5,150 ft., Columbia Co., Wash.
of feathers on the ground, and possibly having
then been carried away by some "carnivore".
Hall, Chattin, and I tried to shoot bats
which were fairly abundant, but only Chattin
was successful in getting 2 Myotis votic,
which I later saw flying low among the
conifers.
This camp site is a relatively small open in
a nearly unbroken coniferous stand of
Pseudotsuga taxifolia, Pinus monticola, Abies
amabilis, Larix sp., Picea.
July 28 Left out most of my previous days traps
and set a few more in two small openings
farther down the creek, walking a total
of 73 museum Special traps. Caught a
total of 7 mammals, 3 Peromyscus maniculatus
(2♀, 1♂), 2 Sorex (1♂, 1♀), 1 Zapus (?), 1 Clethrionomys ♀.
The Clethrionomys and 1 Peromyscus were caught
along the trail (only 2 traps incidentally were
set along this trail & they both caught
specimens), 1 Sorex and 1 Peromyscus along the
creek, 1 Zapus and 1 Sorex along the stream in
a small grassy opening 500 yards down the
stream from the cabin, and 1 Peromyscus in
the 2nd grassy opening about 1 mile down the
creek from camp, but not as near the creek:
