1968 June 9 Ladd 1 wren-tit, 1 Bench warner, and 1 spring euphity, Both birds were back in the clofarsl, not on the edge. right alternately clear & cloudy, some dew but not as much as yesterday.

Ran out of garbage cans before reaching the middle, but before that time there were 3 more imaginary cans placed. So, a total of 30 cans covering 36 sample spots, multiply area of one can by 36 to get area sampled 5 p.m. (5) no mice in woodland, clofarsl had 1 wren-tit and 1 spring euphity, and woodon had 3 euphites and 5 or 6 very study merotites. Carl and John ran this woodon line and saw a lodger between M10 and M11, which then went down a hole about 20 yards away. after supper we went back to look for him and spotted a badger lying on a different mound of
