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.
