20 June 1980
Plummer Mine area.
Picked up traps this morning and on into early afternoon, having left them in place for approx 20 hrs. Results:
Pass: Rock outcrop on S side. 20 traps, 4 animals 4/20
Peromyscus maniculatus 3, 2 released, 1 dead in snap trap
P. truei 1, released - young, in molt
Pass: rock outcrop on N side: 6 traps, 3 animals 3/6
P. maniculatus 1 released
P. truei - 2 released, 1 adult, 1 young in molt
Cave rock outcrop 20 traps, 5 animals 5/20
P. maniculatus 4 2 released, 2 snap
Eutamias panaminticus still alive, pinned in a snap trap. Brought back to lab alive (#318)
First rock outcrop 20 traps 2 animals 2/20
P. maniculatus 1 snap
P. truei 1 - released
Gopher sets - 0/4
Total (other than Gophers) 66 traps 14 animals : 21% success
P. maniculatus 9 64.3%
P. truei 4 28.5%
Eutamias 1 7.1%
Why no P. crinitus or P. eremicus? and so few Eutamias in what appears to be optimum habitat?
Finished the afternoon with vegetation transects, packed up and came home.
No specimens except Eutamias saved. Those Peromyscus killed in snap traps were too putrid.
Saw no rabbits (sylvilagus) this trip.
