leasley 5 June 79 25 June 1979 Phinney Mine Shaft Along Phinney Canyon Rd, approx 7 mi E Grapevine Pk we saw 5 horses- apparently "wild" near a group of cattle. All of these animals probably water at Currie Well. It is possible that the "burro" signs we saw at Currie Well and Phinney Canyon Rd, are actually horse signs. Camped about 200' E of "shaft" indicated on map. Set 80 traps along road, one line uphill from camp, the other downhill. Set traps in pairs, one of each pair baited with horse oats, the other with Quick Oats, in an attempt to test effectiveness of each bait. Saw a single rather large bat overhead at night- Eccoptis? 26 June 1979 Phinney Mine Shaft Checked traps, 7 am: Peromyscus maniculatus: 5 (#74,77-kept, others freed) 3 with Quick Oats 2 with horse oats; Peromyscus truei: 3 (#75, 76, 78) 1 with Quick Oats, 2 with Horse Oats. Total 8/80 = 10%; Quick Oats = Horse Oats. Left traps open all day, caught one Entaeias pennantinus # 79. Saw one Entaeias in a piton while setting traps this evening. Set 40 more traps, same bait system, in a line perpendicular to road, up rocky hillside, in evening. This day we walked to the end of the road, which is actually about one mile
