Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif
April 15 This AM on GRID RC I caught ♂ 1455, scrotal, st 9,17, with RED clearly visible in his ears (from 1479); dusted ♀ 1364, ♀, lact (strong), st 8,12 with BROWN Eade she is .30m from usual location?; and ♀ 1225, 41.5g, lactating, with PURPLE at 7,9. Also caught 1513, Immr♂, st 4,8 with ORANGE visible in his ears (offspring of 0020).
This PM on GRID RC I caught ♂ 0460, scrotal, st 6,15 covered with fresh BLUE-GREEN (mate of ♀ 030); and ♂ 1155, scrotal, st 5,13 covered with fresh GOLDEN BROWN (mate of ♀ 1364).
*Also, this afternoon I located radio-signal of ♂ 1257 in a rattlesnake!! See Crotalus spp anot.
April 16 This PM on GRID RC I dusted ♀ 1474, 43.5g, lact, st 7,19 with RED; ♀#030, 50g, st 5,14, with BLUE-GREEN?; ♀ 1364, 39.5g, lactating, st 7,12 with BROWN; ♀ 1225, 41g, lact, st 7,9 with PURPLE.
April 17 This AM on GRID RC I dusted ♀ 020, st 4,8, 45.5g, lactating with ORANGE powder; and ♀ 1421, 47g, pregnant, st W-4 (out) with GREEN.
AE This PM on GRID RC drift fences I dusted ♀ 0340, lctd, st E-B, with GREEN powder; ♀ 1183, lact, st E-B.5 with ORANGE powder. On the grid caught ♂ 0130, st 5,9 covered with PURPLE powder and ♂ 1524, st 4,8 covered with fresh ORANGE * powder (from 020 ♀♀).
*This contact is intriguing because ♀ 020's mate, ♂ 1257 was recently eaten by a Crotalus and she has given birth since then (see Ann notes above). 1524 is a definite immigrant and I wonder if he is taking care of 1257's pups??!
