There are three or four
localities that appear
to have a high concentration
of woodrat houses in
this area. The dominant
vegetation is coast live
oak with an understory
of poison oak (lots of it!)
and scrub oak on the
slightly drier parts of
the uphill side of the
road. We set out traps
between 2 and 5 pm until
we could no longer see
well. We went shopping
for food etc. at the mouth
of the valley and returned
to Hastings for the night.
19 December
We got a total of
7 animals this morning.
We spent the afternoon
preparing them Hastings.
It's been some time since
we have made specimens
