June 2 Sagersen Creek Field Station, Nevada Co., CA
Left Berkeley at 7:30 am and arrived at
the Field Station at 11:30 am after stopping
for breakfast in Auburn. Driving conditions
were fairly good except for occasional
light mist showers in the coast range
and in the Sierra. Mike Yoder-Williams was
away so I was fixed up with cabin and
lab space by Kimberley (?) (working on
Mike Morrison's Bird Study.
Started setting traps after I had un
loaded everything. There was a light snow
fall last night but it thawed rapidly.
First went to the Upper & Lower Spring
Sites - lots of Ashen in leaf and lots
of woodrat sign. Set 10 traps (chipmunk
Size, 16") at U. Spring & 5 at L. Spring. Also
lots of Marmot droppings on the rockfiles
as well as Beaver Sign (chewed Aspen) at
L. Spring. Then saw my first yellow-bellied
Marmot near Leofold's Cabin. Also some
Douglas Squirrels around. Went on to the
"Rockslide" Site, found no fresh woodrat
sign throughout the area, but fresh
Beaver sign was everywhere. Set 3
traps in hope of catching vagrants.
