LIDICKER 1977 Aug 8 cont. longicaudus (WZL#3559). Set 5 additional Mus. spec. in the willow thicket & 5 in open forest. Finally the large set of Mus. spec. around the edge of a beaver dam for water shrews. Then additional 5-minute counts gave total of 15 for the day. Then Jeff, Kim, & I went 5 and set 10 Mus. spec. (pleasant with bait) in heavy willow thickets along the S. side of Copper Creek (just W. of the bridge). Finally we set 10 Mus. spec. along the top of a ridge in S. Gothic (up the slope to the east clear an old cornfield) which had nice brush & many green stems. cutting along it, & thought this might be a place to catch a Phaeocerys. This gave total of 80 trips out (29 Shrews + 51 Mus. spec.). Aug 9 Picked up all traps after breakfast (starting 0745).
