Boy measured distance from grid to irrigation with
1 twine = 975 ft. To ridge between irrigation and grid
was 700 ft.
Myral counted live Tillandsia on the sparsest
areas and got the following counts: A9-B10 = 214;
A10-B11 = 96; B11-A12 = 15; B12-C11 = 97; C11-D10=74;
D10-C9 = 82; E9-C10 = 182; F7-G6 = 80; F7-E6=276
K5-L4 = 61. K5-J4 = 248; B2-C1 = 225.
The "nest" with 2 eggs along Myral's Calburn
drive was dew-covered, hence abandoned,
Photographed live Tillandsia crossed by a random string
just north of study area (50 feet) to get area covered
by leaves. The dead leaves were covered up with
paper. Many leaves are dead at the tips but alive
at the base, revealed by slope line -> dead x on
our point samples (8 ft SE of stakes), a hit on
the dead tip was counted as dead Tillandsia.
Concerning captive mice: The domesticus and
guadaluensis captured to be placid, almost boring, and the
annexus wilder. The big female domesticus gave birth
July 11 and the big female guadalensis today (4 young). They
are not active early in the evening; in fact they seem
to be almost completely inactive until about 5 a.m.
So this why survival is so good in lixtrope? They
may not get caught until 5 or 5:30.
at 4 p.m. set out the grid traps again,
beginning at A2, nothing in Calburns, at Union Roady.
