way where the ridges and grasses are
more lush and continuous it probably
would have yielded a catch similar
to T2 & T3.
Lemmus appears to occupy the same
ground exactly but in limited numbers,
M. minutus has not been taken at this
station. Suitable alderical low type
habitat does not occur in this valley
until one goes about 3-4 miles upstream.
There is flood plain habitat that
looks suitable - ground such as that
along T1 - but there is no sign of
microtine activity in the flood
plain until one reaches a point about
2 miles above Jugo Lake, where I
saw some digging and fresh trails
along a bank between the flood plain
and the river terrace. This sign was
probably made by M. minutus. Ondysavum
(legume) is again prevalent on the flood
plain areas here as on the Okfilek, so
there should be sufficient food for populations
of M. minutus, at the Jugo Lake sector of the valley.
Willow cover is not so good as at Okfilek.
No sign of Ondysavum this year on any
ground.
