after running these traps, we wound up aluminum traps and refilled traps and did the plant census. while re-baiting we found the following traps occupied: CI also longi 367 A8 moto big 372 E8 " " 374 (2 traps) while winding up traps we seem to have attracted two big needscakers that came to within 30 ft. i.e. also saw a flock of finchies working through the tree-traps. The supplementary trap lines caught 4 cryps, 2 big motos, 1 little shrew-like motos, 4 dark obidons, 2 also olive, and 8 also longi. no distinction in habitat between any of them. not sure yet that the "dark obidon" is really different from obidonus. may 20 on veranda, night full moon and partly clear, temp down to low 20s. water pump and rear brake froze up and had to be thawed out to get going. Ran grid at 10 a.m., many traps probably frozen so that they would not have spring: 394 also olive 24g A1 390 moto big B5 380 also longi B2 396 ? Phyllotis 65 g C6 395 moto little 32g E3 392 moto big A6 370 also longi F3 381 also olive B7 371 also olive C4 383 also longi F8 all were dry and in good shape. Frost on the bamboo until about noon.
