P.A. Kelly 1986 Journal July 17 (cat) Bishop 3515' quad 4144N, 376E.) where Tom had seen a lot of whitewash. Much of the 'whitewash' seems to be a calcareous (?) component of the volcanic rocks there. But there is also a lot of bird feces, esp. especially Barn Owl, on the rocks. We did however set 11 tomahawks baited with C.O.B. at woodrat middens. These are probably Neotoma lepida though. July 18 Collected the 11 traps around 8 am. We caught only one > Neotoma lepida. The tip of his tail had white fur. (Albinism of the tail tip as in Aphodimus?) We released him. Later on in the afternoon we went 'touring' with Tom in his GMC truck. We drove to the end of the Rock Creek Rd but found no woodrat sign on the few rockpiles we checked out. We cont- inued N. to the Mammoth area to see the mirasets and the proposed expansion of skiing facilities. July 19 In the afternoon we drove to Fish Slough (N. of Bishop) to see the Desert Pupfish reserve. We bumped into Phil Fister (the inspiration behind pupfish conservation) in the local Safeways. [I] was very impressed with an HV2 lunch.
