Itinerary June 28 11 mi. NE Weed, Butte Co., Calif. Leaving the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at 9:20 am. the field party consisting of; Dave Johnson (leader), John Chetkin, Don Hoffmanster, Lloyd Lewis William Smythland and myself, drove north from Berkeley through Canquery and on up the Sacramento Valley via Willow and Red Bluff to Weed. Our equipment consisted of a 3/4 ton Dodge truck and a Dodge passenger sedan lent by the University - At Weed we had dinner and afterward drove approximately 11 mi. NE to our first camp ground at an old railroad siding called Delaney. Our camp was approximately 1/4 mi. S.W. of the Weed Klamath highway. The locality is characterized by low sage brush (Artemisia tryp), a species of Arctostaphylus, a few scattered yellow pine.

Hooper 1937 11 mile N E Weed, Suburban Co., Cal., which had been both heavily logged and burnt as evidenced by numerous stumps, and a few western Juniper. The life zone would be put as definitely transition. The terrain was generally flat with a low, hillless 200 yds to either side. The soil was dark and sandy but not rocky. The country was barren as compared with the beautiful forest of yellow pine, White fir, I mean Cedar, Douglas fir and Black Oaks which were found along the highway south of Weed, and on the slopes of Mount Shasta - Before lunch I set out 21 mouse traps to the north of our camp site. The traps were set about 15 feet apart generally under clumps.

The catch was: Bergamycus maniculatus 1 ♂ Perognathus parvus 1 ♀ Sipodomyx hermanni 4, (1♂ & 3♀) Several trap were found spring without mice - The settings under the low sage brush seemed the best. A member of the party found the nest of a juncwill containing 2 young birds only recently hatched. The nest was only a slight depression in the soft sand 1 inch deep and 6 inches in diameter - several rocks, pieces of brownish wood were found in the nest with the young birds - The birds were

Hooger 1939 Jun 29 Crooked R. 3400 ft., mouth of Bear Cr. Crook Co. Ore. Leaving our first camp, 11 mi N.E. of Weed we drove north on highway 97 to Klamath Falls to Bend, At Bend we turned east on highway 28 to Pineville, and then left the main highway and drove southeast approximately 35 miles to our second camp site at the mouth of Bear Cr. on the Crooked R. Camp was set 200 feet south of the highway in the Crooked river canyon which at this point was at this point about 200 yds. wide. with red chalks. The north wall of the canyon, was of redish soil and raised up about 500 feet above stream level. The south wall was of black volcanic

June 29 Creeked River rock and rose approximately 250 feet above stream bed. Both sides of the canyon were sparsely grown with Western Timper Juniperes occidentalis, and the floor of the canyon was covered with Sage Brush Artemisia and also with clusters of Junipers. South North River camp During the night I heard a Horned Owl.. The next morning I heard and saw 2 yellow warblers. June 30 The day was spent mostly in arranging the camp equipment which was my task since I was the cooks for the party!

Hopper 1939 July 30 Crooked River In the flat sandy soil, Most of the traps were set under clumps of sage brush. No mice were taken in traps set in the open. Traps set at or near the opening of a hole proved more fruitful. The Bergnathas were all taken from the hillside. Setting under juniper trees were successful. The Bergmays were taken over the entire route. Only 1 mouse, a Bergmayus nanulatus was taken in the black lava rim rock although 15 of the traps were set in this area. Birds seen at or near camp were: Ash Throated Flycatcher Yellow Warbler. Crow. Brewer Blackbird Bellied Kingfisher

1939 June 30 Columbia, K., 500 ft., at mouth of Deschute, R. Deschutes River where we made camp. A very good camp site was found about ½ mile from the highway up the Deschutes river. Poplar trees lined the river but the canyon walls were dry and overgrown with Sagebrush Artemisia. The soil on the canyon walls was very dry and sandy. Large bunches of white sand were found at intervals on the hillside. No traps were set since camp was made late in the evening. July 1 Although a large part of the day was spent cooking and in setting up camp I set out 30 traps (museum specials). They were set [illegible] in a more or less level area bordering the roadway at about

Jasper 1939 July 5 Brooks mead, 9 mi ENE Mt. Hood [illegible] Traveled road. We then followed the road east for 6 1/2 miles to the Brooks meadow guard station where we made camp. On route 1 mile west of the Deschutes river I saw a Mallard Duck in a small slough beside the road. West of the Dalles we drove through heavily timbered country, Yellow pine, Juniper, ponderosa, Douglas fir and cedar spruce 'sp.' were predominant along the Columbia river highway. But along the Hood river many firs were found in addition. The camp sight was on the east edge of a meadow 1/2 mile long 1/4 mile wide. A branch of the Day river ran through the meadow. The meadow was surrounded by a dense stand of timber.

Houper 1939 July 5 consisting of Spruce fir, Douglas fir, white fir. Much fallen timber was found in the forest. No traps were set. July 6 At 12 o'clock while walking in the dense timber I observed an Evening Grosbeak feeding. Other birds seen in this area were a Dwarf Hermit Thrush and Steller Jay. In timber bordering the meadow I saw several Chipping Sparrows, 2 Junco's, several Robins a flock of perhaps 50 Pine Siskins. In the midst of the meadow several Meadowlarks were seen. Coming back to camp I shot a f adult Chipmunk Eutamius townsendii which was running along a fallen tree trunk at the edge of the meadow.

Also about 8 chipmunks and 3 Golden washed [illegible] Squirrel were seen. In the evening several small but were seen overhead but only one was killed, this by Mr. Johnson. It was found to be Tascionictaris noctivagans. July 8 At short distance from camp at the edge of Brooks meadows a member of the party located burrows of Aplodontia sp? which I observed. The burrow system consisted of large external openings of about 6 inches in diameter and about which the dirt was pushed back [illegible] These openings led to a common subterranean tunnel which

July 8 Brooks Meadows, Hood R. Co. Oregon. ran along parallel to and at times under a fallen tree which was perhaps 60 feet long. Outside the burrows near one of the openings - partially dried grass was spread out and found exposed to the sun. Although 4 traps were set in this burrow system by Mrs. Johnson; never taken. The burrow opening were nearly completely covered by camas and other excellent herb which I could not identify. During the afternoon before breaking camp I picked up a But Traps which I had left out from a previous setting and fund a 7 adult Entomius Townsendii. In the road north of Camp I saw fresh trobles of deer, seemingly 2 deer of different size as shown by the differents antlers. In the afternoon we broke camp

July 5 Brooks Meadow, Hood River Oregon about 3 o'clock. I'm general much can be said about the fauna and flora of the Brooks meadow range. The meadows was more or less typical of a mountain meadow and contained forms which were also typical to present enabled us to study meadow forest forest form, and types who's habitat was on the border of the forest. Although many of the following forms were not collected by myself, the following is a list of kinds of mammals seen living living or collected as specimen by other member of the group.

The camp at Twin Buttes was located on the east slope of the ridge connecting the 2 buttes. The elevation was 4300 feet at the camp site as compared with approximately 4800 feet at the top of the Twin Buttes lookout station, and 4000 feet at Mosquito cabin located below. The immediate area around Twin Buttes showed evidence of having been burnt sometime in the past since all of the trees were small and the area was much more open than the neighboring slopes which had very thick growth. The soil was rather sandy and was covered with a heavy sod of grass in most places. The grass several channel

I assisted him in setting out 7 sets of gopher traps on the slope bordering the east end of the meadow. The soil here was rather sandy. Grass grew abundantly on the slope which seemed to have been burnt over more recently than the area described above since burnt stems were found. A junco nest containing 3 eggs was found on a small meadow on the slope. The nest was, on the ground; it was sheltered on 3 sides by a small shrub. The nest was about 2 inches in diameter

super 939 July 22 Snake R. 1 mi N Burbank, Walla Walla Co Wash. During the day I put up the mammoth described above. Also I skinned a Dipodomyx orelii collected by D. H. Johnson 2 mi S SE of Burbank. This camp night with the snake was made on the sandy beach of the river and which was overgrown with willows. To the south and east was land under cultivation, the principal crops being corn and alfalfa. July 23 During the morning I shot a Bullneck O rivele (Icterus bullaceii), about 300 yds from camp in a small willow near the river. Near the same spot I shot a Red Shafted Flicker which was feeding on the ground. Other birds seen during the morning were: Belted Kingfisher, Yellow Warblers, Cliff Swallows and Bank Swallow.

Hamper 1939 July 23 Larche R, 1 mi N Burbank, Lake Wales Co., Florida. Before dark we drove 2 mi. SSE of Burbank to set out traps. The area in which the traps were set was of rolling sand dunes overgrown with sage brush. My trap line (40 traps) passed across two low swampy ravines which was overgrown with grass. Burrows of Perognathus and Dipodomyx were at both runnerves. The traps were set 20 paces apart within reaching distance of the 20th pace without regard for location. The soil was all of light sand except the marshy area described above in which the soil was moist and much looser. July 24 Upon picking up the above trap line I found the following catch: 2 Perognathus megaleotus 1♀ x 1♂ 4 Dipodomyx ordii 3♂ 1♀ 15 Perognathus farvus

Hooper 1939 July 27 Stevenson Sd., Columbia Co., Wash. Further down the slope, at one place along the stream I found a flat grassy area in which I found small remains in the grass. The grass was, I think, a species of Bromus although I am not certain of this. I set 3 traps in this area. Along the stream traps were set at the water's edge. Returning to the roadway I set 2 rat traps, baited with prunes, at the base of 2 Douglas fir. The traps were about 50 feet apart. July 28 Upon picking up the above trap line I found the following catch: 5 Peromyscus maniculatus 1 Clethrionomys gapperi ♀ 2 Eutamias amoenus (1 ♂ & 1 juv.) 1 Glaucomys sabrinus ♀ While returning to the highway, I shot a Ruffed Grouse, Bonasa umbellus.

The animal fitted snugly into the hole and was hanging head down. The poles were used to hold the body close to the rocks. A small free space existed above the backs, it is interesting to speculate how the animal could have hung up in such a position. Certainly, it could not have been accomplished by the regular way, but must have first hung up on the outside of the hole and secondarily crawled in. While handling the bat (an adult M) the animal moved its wings very slowly in a movement which seems to be very much like that in flight. I noted the movement of the humerus
