Found 1 dead mule deer [illegible] under dam. No bulldozing yet. June 26 Picked up more scats; lots around Sequoia trees. Grass around lower Sequoias has been mowed. 0 cats. July 7 Watched mustelids from tower in Orinda Pasture in evening. Lots of activity about 8 PM when wind died down. Sometimes 3 or 4 in view at SAME time, frequently within 2 feet of each other, but no fights; heard no squealing, never no fights. Mostly they just nose over and through the vegetation, a few nibbled at greens (thistle), a couple climbed briefly a few meters into thistle. In many places the ground is drifted with sterile Canada thistle seeds and the mustelids blow through them like snow plows. Makes them more visible. Considerable mustard still in bloom. July 8 More mouse watching at 8 am, much activity. Picked up scats in Tiller at 3-5 PM on main trails. No bulldozing yet; mustard still blooming, common greenish-yellow daisies blooming on field roads. Saw 3 smoke skins (myxitis). 1 dead skunk, large colony of new grass. No cats.
