The dominant tree-shrubs in
the area which is a species
of Populus - the leaves are
recognizably Populus but
only about 1 inch x 1 inch.
There is also willow but mostly
the cottonwood-like tree-shrub
is what the Nectoma appear to
be using.
We stayed just up the road
at Lane Pine campground
and set some more traps
at a few houses near the
creek. This is a beautiful spot.
The contrast of the desert
sage habitat and the Kern
creek riparian zone with
the snow covered Sierras
a backdrop is stunning.
The trapping effort yielded
13 Nectoma. All the animals
have the basic measurements
of Escipes - even some longer
in the tail, however, some
adults have very pale feet above
and below. None have the
common duskiness on the top
