other 2 locations, because it was so dark (I used blue markers for the traps). Caught only 1 Clethriomys in the road-side line in a trap (p-m) set away from roots of a lg. injured stump. This # (WZL # 4084) was already damaged by large ants. Light rain on walk back. Saw!
July 31 - Rain during the night, heavy with wind causing a 5-6 hr. power failure in the wild area. Lightning strikes even stopped the drains. Clearing and survey in morning but vegetation slipping wet. Could endown traps. From 10:30 to ~13:00 Jacob & I checked all the south traps. Catches:
upper eastern forest - Clethriomys - 3 (2 p-m, 1 a) (#4099-4101)
Sorax araneus - 5/7 (2 p-m, 3 a) (#4078-82)
rockets - Clethriomys - 3 (2 p-m, 1 a) (#4102-4104)
rd-side - Clethriomys - 1 # (p-m) #4085
lower mossy forest - Clethriomys - 4 (2 p-m, 2 a) (#4105-4108)
Sorax - 1 (a) #4077
catch = 18 so far.
While skinning the skunks, I noticed that in all cases the 38 had brown tails (seals easily visible even from close), and the 94 had quite heavily furred tails (prominent penicil, etc.)
Checked grid #7 traps early (1900-2000) so I haven't have more time to check the single-trap lines. Could whole line by myself (2000 to 2200). Upper forest - Sorax (#4083)
araneus - 1, (p-m): 2030 to 2055. Buck line (2050 to 2055); dry pine forest (2100 to 2130); rd-side (2115-2120); lower forest (2120 to 2130) - 1 Clethriomys
(p-m). Light rain in early morning. Lots of Alice signs, seen deer spinned, a few carnivore scats,
