23 July Pitzega River, 12 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska
The same runway. A depression between
Trussards, up on the hill we caught a few
animals, again both species. In a well
developed patch 50'x200' of birch 16" tall
about 90 traps failed to yield any min
although it looked awsome. If Clethrum
occurs anywhere in this area it should
have been found in this stuff with the
Clethrum sort of dry moss for a good
cover. While taking our pictures of a
magnificent floral display, I heard the
song of The Singing Vole and nearly
caught one by hand and would of if it
hadn't bitten me!
24 July Pitzega River, 12 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska
Another good catch of min here, 8 Mn + 3 Mre.
The flat areas of Muddy Wet Meadow are
vegetated like the areas near the lava
Ranges. The grasses and sedges are widely
exposed : not providing much food or cover.
The SW facing hillsides still have well developed
shrubs on them providing the cover min
seems to need.
Pitzega River, 12 miles SE Cape Sabine, Alaska
Minnes habitat as I see it min's out about
there, a good place to camp and study
next year.
