Hoffmeister 1942 Itinerary June 24 (cont.) 9 mi. W Benton, 8300 ft., Mono Co., Calif. Microtus (particularly M. longicaudus), Sorex, or Zapus, but caught only 14 Peromyscus maniculatus and 1 Junco oregena I continued down the creek to the lower meadow, shooting there a Citellus bellingeri. Near the meadow, I found 3 young Hairy Woodpeckers running around on the ground, only able to flutter a short distance. I saw 1 adult that was attending the young. I was able easily to catch 2 of the young birds. June 25 5 mi. W and 4 mi. N Benton, 6800 ft., Mono Co., Calif. Dr. Miller and I drove down to the road last p.m. to near the lower edges of the pinons and along the east side of east side of Black Canyon, almost opposite "Sease Ranch". Where the canyon rises most abruptly along this side, there are large rocks scattered among the pinons. Here also there are a very few junipers (two seen). I set traps along this canyon side with the hopes of catching some Peromyscus truei. After setting out traps last p.m., I heard a California Jay. The bird had apparently come down from the adjacent slopes to get water in the creek in the canyon bottom. The Jay came in close to a Great Horned Owl call and I took a shot at it. Search in the rapidly diminishing light revealed no Jay, nor did a further search this morning. Upon driving down the narrow road (that is, driving down canyon [north]), for about 3/4 mile, we saw 3 Scaphiopus hammondi crossing the roadway. The headlights
