1979
March 21 cont.
total of 43 days at 520'. Caught 1 Mus + 1 Passer domesti,
(Hale Palau mus lower of rock ; Palakula =
long rock ; Mamaw lon = long mt, Manwa koo = white
at 1830
mt.). Set 6 down trips in tree clump near cabin (1 is clamor-
dition camp)
Proceeded home mine after dinner. 2130-2210 we
are trapping at the new bird facility. Aside had
(3 q dead 4 11/16 wt+Am)
6 mus + day farm 1 mus - all alive!} Some young
traps have replaced a others not giving total 48
set of 14 inside and 19 day farm = 33. Checked 6
traps set near cabin 2215-2230; nothing. Traps
and cabin are nearly "radio"ed from here.
Seeds of the lettuce we sown scattered on the ground
everywhere (they are orange & conspicuous).
March 22
According to Paul Branse it was 28 F at
the "farm" during the night. Some of the duck ponds
were frozen over. Traps inside: 3 alive mus + 2 dead.
Pulled 3 traps leaving 30. The Castle-de trap had
nothing. Along N fence caught 2 Rattlers setting
which we gave to Paul. Pulled 6 of down traps
leaving 13. We continue to be amazed at how
mus from den die quickly - traps from as far away as 4
we have rescued food & safe home at Hale Palau
when it is much colder & we have not checked the
fence at night.
Hale Palau: 9400 ft. - Caught 3 mus; set up 4
down traps giving 9-3+4 = 10. traps.
