Plot of Neotoma to process (note that I recorded all under this morning trap occasion, despite that many were captured last night). We finished by 1030th. It was very sunny and warm by this time. I returned to Grid MC to try and get radio-locations on mice, but had no luck (see Telemetry data).
Summary of trapping results
GRID DE: P.californicus 11 13 15
P.borji 3 4 4
Perognathus 4 6 6
Sorex 2 2 dead 4
Eutamias 0 1 1
Neotoma 10 (3 new) 10
TOTAL 20 36 40 total
GRID MC: P.californicus 10(5 new)
P.truei 3(1new)
P.borji 5(1new)
TOTAL 18(7new)
After lunch a breeze picked up and cooled things down (low 70's) I prepared the 2 Sorex mortalities in the afternoon, then reset all RC grid traps (except the drift fence traps) from 1530-1630, and MC traps from 1630-1800th. I also did some telemetry (see Telemetry data). Since the best bet for telemetry appears to be MC, tonight I'll check MC traps.
2130th - out checking traps on MC. It's clear, low 50's, no moon, beautiful night! Very good results tonight. Radio-called one more female tonight (see Telemetry data). Finished by 2300th.
