Made a spike dead-fall & set for a Mole & dug some holes for mice to tumble into. Made up 11 skins. Shot a Sharptailed Grouse. A warm day & everything growing. Took up my traps among the hills where I expected to get S. mollis, have only caught S. 13lineatus. Arvicolas seem to be numerous on the meadows. " [[Ditto for: April]] 23 Made a good catch, but nothing new. Got 13 Hesperomes, 4 Ochetodons & 3 Arvicolas & 2 Geomys. Took up my traps & set them out around a field a mile & a half west. Hope to get Mollis & Perognathus. Skinned 12 mice but didnt get them stuffed. Got two Arvicolas in one of the holes dug yesterday. Had 15 traps set in a field of wild sunflowers & caught 13 mice in them - Hesperomes & Ochetodons. They seem to live in the same places. A clear pleasant day.
