Went through the heart of
the Gold Country yesterday, with a
quick stop at Sutters Well in Coloma.
Mediana have been collected in
Michigan Bluff but a long look
in that area yielded no houses.
We were successful, though, in
finding houses just over the hill.
On Michigan Bluff road but
on the West facing slope prior
to arriving at the town. We
set traps in two areas separated
by a tenth of a mile and
camped near one of the sites.
A total of 30 traps yielded
5 animals. #352, 353, and 354 in
the area where we camped and
#355 and 356 just downhill .1
mile. #353 and 354 were caught
in the same trap - likely mom
and pup, but this female also
had 3 embryos - I set of twins.
Also, female #355 was heavily
lactating and also had 2 embryos.
These animals were quite cinnamon
colored, especially male #352
