Chris and I to two locations
for woodrat trapping. The
number of houses is fairly
low so we only found
8 good trap stations - two
or three traps were set at
each. The 3 of us returned
to the Bechtel house for
dinner and had great discussions
about everything from great
books to how to answer the
question "what will your research
do for the world?" - it was a
late night!
This morning we went out
and checked all the traps and
caught two juvenile-subadult
mates at the southeast corner
of Horse Hill. Both specimens
(MDM 368+369) were very high
in fleas and tiny ticks.
MDM 368 was captured at a
typical house at the base of
a Quercus while 369 was
captured in the crotch of
a hollowed out oak. There
were no houses in this free
