where we find 4-5 houses
within several meters of
eachother, then none for
several 100 meters. Hopefully,
we will have several
animals in the morning.
All 36 traps that we have
left have been set.
18 August 11:00am After the coldest night we've
had in months, I was thrilled
to get 11 animals this morning.
They appear to be using the
Junipers predominantly, but they
take advantage of rock outcrops
and the tangle of fallen branches,
and tree stumps.
The woodrats in this area
don't seem to be heavier than
elsewhere but substantially
longer. Several of these animals
had butterfly larvae - one was
pulled out from the chest of
male MDM 380 and weighed 2 grams.
