22Oct the shads had clear run ways
through them. One animal (dips)
hopped away about 2 feet, quickly
widened a hole that at first
was only a depression, once it
had access to its burrow system
(1-2 seconds) it squeeze in and
was gone. Not a "thin ceiling
emergency exit", but almost a
push through entrance. Another
animal hopped to within a foot
of the next trap on the line. It
stopped there. I approached &
picked up the trap; the rat still
sitting, not moving until my
back was turned (as I walked
on.)
23Oct Camped last night at Silverwood
Lake (end of Hwy 238). Looks like
Dipodomys agilis habitat; Mountain
chaparral, with some coniferous and
deciduous forest on the mountain
rims. Chaparral has lots of
Adenostema & Arctostaphylos + looks
like D. venustus habitat at Chalk
Peak (Monterey Co.). Heading to Hwy
15, horse thief canyon is Adenostema
