RBBB, D.O 1989 21 PERDURVSUS CALIFORNIUS Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. April 8 Before sunset we got radio-locations on ♀ 1460 - ♂ 040 (same as am.) and ♂ #1212 - ♀ 020 who were in an old Buckeye at station 10,16, about 2m above ground. Note that this is same location as a nest identified of ♀ 020(1186) last year! (See telemetry catalog 21 May 1988) - See additional locations on data sheets. April 9 This PM on GRID MC caught ♀ 020, 41.5g, lactating, st 11,4. Removed her radio-collar, dusted her PURPLE. Caught ♂ #1212 at 10,6; covered with PURPLE, and removed his radio-collar. April 10 This AM on GRID MC I caught ♂ 1111, st 9,10 with ORANGE crumble in his ears. Caught ♀ 1351, 40.5g, lactating, st 9,10, dusted her ORANGE. And caught ♀ 0100, 43.5g, lactating, st 9,4 with a fresh (still viscous) sperm plug in her vagina! David was with me and from his lab experience, she must have given birth yesterday. First time live seen this. Dusted her RED. #153 ♀ Sandy Mat, up, nullip. 30.5g. Ear-tagged. MC dust face, st E-1 (in) Tissue Cell Definite immigrant.. This PM on GRID RC I caught ♀ 1225, 43g, lactating, removed her collar, and dusted her PURPLE. Also, caught ♂ 0130 at 5,9 with faint PURPLISH in his ears and removed his collar. April 11 This AM on GRID MC I caught ♀ 1460, st 10,17, 47g, lactating, and dusted her GREEN (note no radio-collar-shot!). Also, dusted ♀ #1497, st 8,15, nulliparous, 36.5g with Blue-green. This is a "new"dusting, want to see if she is interacting with anyone. Also caught ♂ 1206 with clearly visible RED in his ears at 7,4. #1532 ♀ Imm, nullip. 23.5g. Ear-tagged. GRID MC, st 9,4. Coll. Issues * No sign of any powder (returned in dark). Location close to ♂700, but should have powder since dusted recently. Therefore, probably an immigrant..?? No sign of powder 13th
