two Onychomys dens, Our test Oryz. near the tent
seems to eat actual watermelon, apple, cheese, &
becon - but won't go into traps to get them.
Before lunch we built a scrap roofing corral
and tow apart the rocks & cacti near the tent - soda.
Then another one where we disturbed an onyz
from his shredded Ephedra nest under a cactus
branch. he ran more control, then to another
clump, and we finally caught him by hand
along the tin corral,
a similar attempt with another mouse,
after several mad scrambles, netted a big O
phyllotis.
6 cows at lunch moved off the valley onto
the grid.
March 31
