Snow was all gone, There were still floor-floor
in the tree about this snow,
Lots of bird song in the tree tops,
Traded the Renault in for a Toyota now.
08.29 Day clear, calm, warm; hazy clouds arrived
about noon. Drove up to Refugio Keewaydin (although
stopped by snowdrifts on the road about 1/4 mile
below the Refugio). Hiked up to the anawang photo
place above the Refugio, but they were still under
snow. Floor-floor on the ground or snow in a few
places. The deer are newly leaped out. Photo
of the anawang/large forest on the flats about 100
yrs below the rest of the road, it was free of snow,
a few Chelomyx earth core but none in photo (same
photo scene as last autumn). Then snooped around
the forest near the car. Lots of earth cores and
indented runways, seemingly of two diameters
(Chelomyx and Sorex?). Set 3 steel traps for a few
hours, but no catchers), Very few anawang showing
above ground + much activity centers about logs,
and stumps (see diagram).
Found numerous anawang tubers
near earth core, but too early
to see distribution because so
few anawang shoots are showing.
The ground is mostly dry smooth
papery covering of leaves with
cooling down or
fallen log shagging
pattern of core and
runways.
