P.A. Kelly 1986 Journal. June 29 (cont.) In the afternoon I searched for other bushy tail localities to the NE of the Sagenan Basin. Drove N-NW on Cottonwood Rd to its junction with Cottonwood Creek (Sierraville 7½' USGS quad) Plenty of deciduous fodder (willows, some aspens & cottonwoods) lent little in the way of good rock cover. Did not see any wood rat whitewash. I also drove W along the Henness Pass Rd past Kyburz Flat to Groundhog Rock (Sardine Peak 7½' USGS quad.). More rocks and willows and aspen along Davios Creek, but did not see any white wash. None at Groundhog Rock either. Started setting traps c. 6:30 pm (PDT): Set 10 at U. Spring, 6 at h. Spring, 6 at Rockslide and 6 at X89. Released ♂ 1221 @ Rockslide and ♀ 1220 at X89. I shooked a long-eared Myotis, Myotis evotis from under a piece of loose rock at X89, he (>) I think, big penis?) flew to a Manzanita bush 30-40' away. Caught him in my bandana for identification back at the field station. Released him again around 10pm when I started checking traps. Time (PST) location Rat# c. 21:00 U. Spring Released ♀ 1222, and ♂ 2174 (dusted orange)
