base git. OP and Dane came up to help, and we caught 4 mice by pancy on the - and at least 2 more got away. It was really hot in the sun here - no fog. The breeze was off and on cool. Saw a lot of condors, and counted at least 13 roosty in the cliffs (11 with white; 2 dark). Lots gleyan, al humming birds. Went jacklighting but saw nothing. Monday March 12 - [illegible] The excitement started when the new moon set last night. I had put out 10 large collapsin shwa's in rocks + bushes, at 5 across sandy hill, and 5 lined up acros our tent (3 under the table). First we heard Dane thrashin around, and several traps snappin shut. Then we realized that we were seeing mice dashin by us. Finally after a few more OP got up to see what was going on and reported mice were in the pit across for the tent, where we had thrown some melon rinds and stale bread. He came back to bed and after a few more mice had dashed by I got up to go see the situation. Looking down into the hollow I could see dozens of mice running wildly around, nibbling on the edibles and dashing into a shelter under a rock or into a can. I started watching to sort out species and realized that there were Atodon among the Phylloti. So I got OP and I went with hi.
