Buke, Alameda Co., Calif.
Feb 10 1965
By contract a 3rd area is a close
creped sheep pasture that is a
knoll with gentle slopes in all
directions.
E W N S
This area, some 200 yds in diam., has
a good number of mounds - not as many
as previous years but conspicuously
more than any other area seen
this season. And the drainage would
be real good.
Many other areas that had a good slope,
but all in one direction, and
previously had many mounds, are
undisturbed at this time. And right of
this time is the busiest period of the
year for mole activity.
Made 12 sets with kid traps and left
over night. Weather clear.
Feb 11 1965
Weather clear humidity low in Buke,
but frost in Tomalle area. Took 3♀'s
& 1♂. All ♀'s pregnant - each with 3
emb., and sizes very small. 1 set emb.
2mm after being in Bouine - 1 set 5mm
in Bouine & the 2nd set just
slight lumps on the tubal.
