1960 Hill Rd - overpass. Much meadow sign. In some places they have eaten the habitat almost bare, with lusk grass nearby. Especially devastated are old mustard "forests" in which there is no replacement, or replaced by sparse, heavily-cropped grass. May 24 Traps held 1 Reuthro, 3 Muss, 24 Minks, night was partly clear, but rain again about 7 a.m. Picked up traps at 5 p.m.; 14 more meadow Aug. 19 14 Sherwome overnight in pasture caught 1 muss, 1 meadow, 1 leron turni, and 10 Reuthro. Kept 3 Reuthro for vibrissal studies. Aug 23 at 3:30 p.m. put 92 Sherwome at Glenella cut-off above the road, centering near the cat-tailed tree. Lots of meadow running in droppings, whitewash, and piles of thistle blossoms. Saw about 10 meadow while setting traps. Picris is partly will dried up, all through throwing, some of the big ones girdled. Lots of star thistle, much of it in bloom, with much mouse activity among it. Aug 24 at 9 a.m. traps held 16 meadow, 37 muss, and 17 Reuthro. 3 of the meadow (the only jws) were dead or dying. Most of the meadow very large, and tending to be in the dry oats rather than in the middle of the star thistle and Picris, where mous tented to be. Some jws. muss and Reuthro. Tagged the meadow & Reuthro and clipped vibrissal. at 4 p.m. put 92 traps at Charles Hill Rd. and Beella Blvd (NW foodlot), riddled with meadow sign!
