  • Mammals - Lac la Hache area Pack-rat [underlined] - On July 2 while eating supper at camp an object was seen to fall through the lower branches of a near- by old Douglas fir. A squirrel was seen near the centre of disturbance. About twenty minutes later a squeaking noise near the base of the tree led to the discovery of a young pack-rat, still in milk feeding stage; well haired byt eyes closed. Did the squirrel drop the rat from the tree or did the rat fall from an arboreal nest? Obvious signs of packrat, fresh droppings, lots of bones, sprigs of evergreen etc. were found under roots of the same tree. Two traps were set but without result the first night. (July 4 - 1 [male symbol] caught.) G. Forbes says they are not as numerous now as they used to be. He once killed 60 around his buildings some years ago. Peromyscus [underlined] [deer mice] - Common, particularly along lake edge, stream edge + other damp places. None taken in dry forest. Zapus [underlined] [jumping mice] - Common along irrigation stream in field. Some trapped on muddy ground near thick cover. One taken at lake edge (discarded on account of damage, possibly by pack-rat.
