Peon 1967 In three days we have not seen a single mistletoe dropping or soliturnal, but in this patch of Elymus were lots of runways and fresh droppings. A few runways I sort of run as much as a yard or so out into the surrounding dry oats, but little if any signs beyond that distance. The patch of Elymus is about 5 x 10 yards and is completely isolated from any habitat other than dry grass-meadow. John Davis says this patch has been there for years + years. There are some patches of a different perennial grass (broad, sharp- edge leaves with long upright seed heads) at the creek edge of our Grass-Columbian meadow, and I saw a few Mistletoe signs in those. Nov. 13 Down traps at 6 a.m. (still dark). Slight drizzle for part of night, but grass not wet. Picked all traps.
