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.
