Rearo 1970 At 9 am cruised the meadow across from the station headquarters looking for garter snakes. Found one 5 yards south of stream (marked 6 ventral + anterior to anus, medium-sized snake) but no others until 10:45, a small one, marked ventral 5, at the weir, 2 yards from stream. Crossed the meadow at least 8 times at different distances from stream, no clouds, so should be good negative evidence. no signs of moisture. at about 2 p.m., Sandy saw trufs in meadow and we took one dead serenatus in a black truf. at dusk a live micistus in a white trufe. aug. 16 Night clear. Trufs in + M held a chipmunk in white trufe, a micistus in white, a Peromyscus in white, and a chipmunks (1205) in black. Cruised for garter snakes across from the station, 8:30 to 9:15. Saw one medium, an single leech across from volley ball net, 2 yards from stream, it appeared to have been marked on (it scold on its side, not mine from yesterday 10 yds away. If the garter snakes are primarily bird & mammal predators, they might be concentrated near the stream because that's where the Zoprus are. The kids playing along the stream saw about 6 in the middle of the day. cought one garter snake where dogotten Creek crosses the highway, near water.
