Pacific Jumping Mouse (Zapus trinotatus)Observer
ckjannabirdsDescription
We found this “sleeping” or sick in center of dirt forest road in sun. We thought it was dead at first, but when I tried to turn it over with a stick, it was alive. Was it hibernating? Was it sick? A disease that eats the brain out? Just guesses. We set salal branches all around it so we wouldn’t accidentally step on it on our return walk, but when we hiked back the mouse was gone! Had it only been “playing dead” while we were there and actually is healthy? We don’t know!

Nootka Rose (Rosa nutkana)Observer
ckjannabirdsDescription
sketched 08/31/2017 Dark Lake, p. 3, rose # 2 --
thorns are soft, no prick/pain whatsoever, and when touched crumble off, which is why stem has only bases of thorns ; (except one photo, last photo - with red stem - from this same group of stems, does show a stiff sharp thorn, but since not necessarily from same single 'bush' as all other photos, might even be another species stem) (except, forget all I wrote: as sketching specimen, specimen has stiff painful thorns : so I guess bush has both types of thorns);
leaves very small ;
grows south of Spearmint Log, almost to 2006 log spot, south side of odd "black hole" stump, (to help me relocate it next summer , to draw blooms)
