April 13 Returned to MC after lunch to take telemetry readings (see telemetry data)-
Today was warm and sunny again. I reset only RC traps
on the eastern half of the grid (column 12-18) since I
am only interested in P O30. I opened up all remaining traps.
Ran into a Crotalus near station 7,17. Reset all MC traps
(except 9,6-9,9; 10,6-10,9) from 1800-1845h.
@ 2100h - out checking traps on MC. Clean, mid locs. Good results - I
removed the radio-collar from P 2048. Finished by 2215h.
April 14 0645h - out checking traps on RC. Cte some high clouds, low 50's.
Totally dismal results - I think this is the last trap occasion here.
Started checking traps on MC by 0730h. Put a radio-collar
on P O20 (see Telemetry Data). Finished by 0830h.

Returned to MC at 1400h to get radio-locations (see Telemetry Data).
Today was another warm sunny day - Since there arent any mice
on RC suitable for telemetry, I opened up all remaining traps
on RC this afternoon. On grid MC I only want to catch
2044,B for telemetry, I only set columns 4,5,6 on rows
10-11. Finished setting these by 1830h.
I intended to go out this evening, but I had to repair
my last collar (unexpectedly) and didn't finish until
almost midnight. Ill go out early instead.
