" ", St 3,3. Tissues coll. Perhaps sibling of 1429 caught at 2,3 ?? This am I conducted dyadic encounters on GRID WR between the following: home visitor results 1121 scrotal O? 1435 & lactating O approached several times who responded 1175 & lactating 1118 O? scrotal & attached but O did not respond 1116 scrotal O? 1484 O? scrotal both approached w/ no response Still nothing at citing, I think the enclosure is too small. Jan 30 Conducted another dyadic test on WR this am: home visitor 610 & lactating 1175 & lacting - nothing but a few approaches Also, this AM I caught F 1462 on MC drift fence St E-11 (out) potential disperser - she was covered w/ PURPLE powder (from F 020).
