Itinerary
Staywhile Spg, 5150 ft., Columbia Co., Wash.
remaining 32 in a small meadow grown with grass
in most places to a depth of 1/2 feet and wet and
marshy underfoot. This spot apparently was
being used by an elk as a bed and wallow, as
both were evident, together with feces and trampled
glass. Caught 7 specimens in these 56 traps; and 1
specimens in 3 rat traps set beneath the house.
In the 20 traps along the trail, caught 2 Eutamias
amoenus and 1 Peromyscus maniculatus ?; in the
4 traps in the smaller opening near the creek caught
marshy
1 Neovius richardsonii ?; in the meadow, 1
Clethrionomys gapperi ?, 1 Zapus trinotatus ?, and
1 Mustela ecognanii ?. In the 3 rat traps
beneath the house: caught 1 adult Peromyscus
maniculatus ?.
A sketch of the region I trapped in at Staywhile Spring,
