3 of these were different than yesterday's 2, hence
5 or more cats are hunting within 100 yards of the grid.

The owl pellets from the pasture on Sept 20 contained
6 miniature and 1 bird (pigeon?), no tags

at 6 p.m. set rows A, C, E, F, H, I, J, K. Because
of darkness didn't set 3 traps (one each in rows K, J, and H)
