3 Oct pulled out. We returned to camp, ate dinner, and then checked the 61 traps at ca. 21:30. One trap above the road in the forest caught a live Peromyscus maniculatus by a hind leg. One trap set in a meadow in grass in a willow clump caught a Zapus princeps by the tail. The latter is the first recorded jumping mouse on a 70/163 field trip; the species usually hibernates towards the end of August and early Sept.
