Hoffmeister 1947 Itinerary E base Wancoba Mtn, 7300 ft., Snyo Co., Calif. and 1 Black-throated Gray Warbler. I saw Bush-tite carrying off cotton, used for trap markers. Apparently they are building second nests or repairing used ones. June 13 Set out 5 pairs of traps and 75 mouse traps. 50 mouse traps were set up the side of the hill above camp. These traps caught 4 Peromyscus truei, 3 (young) P. crinitus, 5 P. maniculatus, and 1 Sceloporus. 20 traps set in the Artemisia flat caught 4 Ierognathus parvus, 3 Peromyscus maniculatus, and 3 Reithrodontomyx. 5 gopher sets, in this same flat, caught 2 Thomomys bottae. June 14 5 gopher sets caught 2 Thomomys bottae. I set out no other traps as we prepared to break camp this a.m. We turned loose the 5 Citellus lateralis we had been keeping in a box and had been feeding milk. They all went under the cabin but ventured considerable distances into the open from beneath it, and I thinks at such time would make easy prey. I chased one, getting between the cabin and the young animal. I thought I might get it to run up a tree. However, after going about 35 yards it found an old hole in the ground which it went into unheisitatingly. Drove from our camp site here at Wancoba Pass to Big Pine during the morning (some 24 miles). There was little sign of carnivores in the entire region we covered in hunting. No porcupines were seen or no sign was found. Old prints of coyote where noted in 2 instances.
