areas down this forest Service road. The first was, as I said, in the middle of a pure stand of Toxicodendron which was flanked by some large boulders. The second area was in a low standing oak forest with no understory - many horses here were in the low oaks. Finally, I also set traps along an overgrown road that was lined with shrubby oaks on one side and a grassland field on the lower side. From this road there is a beautiful view of which is still covered in snow this year. We trapped a total of 5 animals and as I hope to do throughout this trip, I put up one skin, and took 2 skeletons, the rest of the animals will only be sampled for ear tissue.
