southwest of Chilea: 12x12 at 50-foot spacing = 302,500 ft²
= ± 6 ½ acres, then at 4:30 pm set small shermans at
alternate stakes beginning with A1 (A1, A3, A5... ; B2, B4...)
shifted had to use about 12 big folding shermans to fill out the grid.
all baited with oatmeal x
july 11 pan traps on the Tillandsia grid at 7:30 a.m.: 7 mice
and 1 Phyllotis amicus as follows:
C1 - #107 muzz & vag. not oten
E1 - 108 " δ
F2 - 109 " & vag not oten
I3 - 110 " δ young
B6 - 111 " ♂ "
B8 - 112 " ♂
C9 - 113 " & vag. not oten
D10 - 114 Phyllotis amicus & vog. not oten. Pan to rock/jobs
of C10.
Tagged and released all x The ph. amicus was the rock/jobs makes me wonder whether the phyllotis tagged 104 on july 2 ad called darwinii was not really an amicus. It was caught near C10.
Tracking mice north of the area gave minor mouse-track distances of 17, 29, 16, 11, and 20 yards. Carol caught a lizard north of the grid - it took refuge in a big Tillandsia root. She also saw one large scorpion and collected several species of spider, thyronus, etc. no ants.
One trap with mouse in it was moved by a foot.
On july 2 a fox pestered a couple of traps also.
ants collected soil samples.
