LIDICKER 1990 Feb. 11 cont. On trip A-8 found a long-dead skimmer that has apparently been kept there since the last staging period (it was fully skeletonized); it will be # 5047. Moved 1 of the 3 traps at C-11 to sit on the dike. Re-set the 2 access traps, loaded with 1/2 can of cat food each. On Feb. 9 Jerry had set out a line of traps to S-W of Bay to locate additional cotton nests for later sampling.
