Strong's peromyscus
Dec 17
Ante a few times with guinea pigs near the flare
side of Camps Wellbottle. Ante saw 4 at once and I
watched 3 striking their heads up from the same low
mound, all within 15 feet of each other. They offered
much
more shuttles this morning than last night, and
were bubbling beautifully, especially just before a
coast dive. They differ from germin in bubbling
in being less shy (and at least spending some
time looking out of their burrows), and in coming
out onto the surface to feed. They seem not to
have to burrow so much as germins, for several
(at least 3) will be found lying among a set of
burrows with no signs of recent digging. Ante saw
a guinea pig entering from a tunnel (but that being
a tree go into a tunnel only 2 feet from a guinea pig.
Neither two nor more pigs appeared in the morning until
well after sunrise and the temp had risen above
freezing.
