In small canyon at base of chaparel under laurel.
95 Peromyscus truei
97 Peromyscus truei
In grass near pond
#4 Microtus
In pines; nothing.
Finished checking traps at 10:00 am. Helped Bonnie with her Microtuses until we ran out of tubes at 12:30. Drove back to Berkeley at 1:00 and processed the 15 animals. One, #30 was dead and just got tissues from it.
Finished spinning blood at 5:45 pm. Went home and had a quick supper, then Gary and I left to set traps at Russell. Mileage 28092. Arrived at 7:15 pm.
Took #1-20 away from grass + pines & set them instead in a canyon east of the canyon with laurel trees. Reset 81-90 in laurel canyon same base of chaparel as last night.
Moved 8 from chaparel up to top of ridge above chaparel patch near 78. Reset traps in oaks. Finished at observatory at 9:00, then went down to release Bonnie's Microtuses - quite dark by then. Got home at 10 pm.
