5 Ph. holosericea and 1 calodorus undulus.
In PM did plant census of grid. The hoop samples do not represent fairly the importance of the straight-leafed smelly Serena nor the crisped leafed smelly Serena, also possibly slightly Nototriche under busher.
Oct. 4
Full moon, clear, calm, min. 9 F. Ph. darwini in wire cage in car with yucca seeds and twig of all local plants died. Bird traps caught 1 darwini. While running bird traps, saw 4 lime-worms up among the crops & cliffs above camp One was big beetle.
Something has excavated around roots of long-leafed smelly Serena. One looked at had a big orange-red grub in the center of the stem; another had numerous cocoons.
First cloud offered about 11 a.m.; at 12:45 it was grey-overcast to the east. Moon or sun clear later. First about 11:15 and 8 large Sheremian into cliffs at and above the hummingbird cave. At 2 p.m. cloudy bright, shade temp. was 8°, in hummer cave 8°. Flurries of snow.
Saw L. altricolor at 1:30 at E7 on grid. Woodrat sets (2), dead-mouse bait had not been touched in 3 nights.
Oct. 5
Full moon, some light overcast, min. 21°. Carol saw small dark lizard run into bush at Q12. Humeral droppings at hummer cave, which is only about grid. The two falcons are Falco femoralis. My trap at base of cliff at & above hummer cave caught Ph. darwini including two tags from the grid. Ants caught a tagged one way down to road. Albocauda escaped.
Review of mammal fauna: Ph. darwini common nocturnal and nids ranging although more caught out in open gravel slide sets. Calodorus undulus found almost entirely near their
