no sun in afternoon either. some fog around moors/pole at 4& 5:30 p.m but disappeared. Nov. 11 night cloudy, and only A.M., but cleared and sunny all afternoon. Went to Tacos at 8:30 and returned at 1PM, A foot in Benson's trop edge of camps. 8 mice on my grid. Carol + Benson tagged one more lizard in a m (= total of 28 color-marked lizards onto grid). At 2 pm, Carol, Ali, I Sandy, and Anita did 2 sweeps across the grid, on each row, recording lizards. Sunny and warm. Between 2:15 and 3:40 we recorded 62 lizards of which 12 were marked over. Lincoln index = 28 x 62/12 = 145 Carol did counts in the morning and counted 41 lizards of which 14 were marked over: 27 x 41/14 = 79 lizards. at 4 p.m., went down to the ocean with the girls and saw one or more otters plus black lava lizards and red crabs like Golopopsids. I came home early with Benson's pot, which we found hiding under a rock with trop on its foot. After I left the girls watched an otter drying its fur in the sand only 12 feet from them. Nov. 12 night cloudy and moving overcast until about 11 when it became sunny enough for lizards. So after finishing the plant survey the 4 girls + I did another lizard sweeps covering rows A to E on the way north and g-k on the way back, counting as before, row F to avoid counting same lizard twice. Counted 72 lizards of which 18 were marked over.
