Ensetein - Noble cabin
Feb. 6 and would probably be impossible without
4-wheel drive at this time of year. The
temperature was much warmer day this day
- probably in the 40's. Quite nice to
work in. Next, we went up to lines
9N, 9S, and 9E up on Avery Hill (north of
the town). Up here on the ridge, the
snow was quite deep near the road, right
on top of the ridge, but less deep away
from the crest. In trap 7 in 9S, we
found a xanthopsin. In number 20 of
9N, there was a hybrid with a dark band.
In trap 22 of 9E there was a galatinis.
A dead shrew was found in trap 21 of 9E.
I kept it for Rick Warner to look at MVZ.
Some cans were quite wet and a few
had standing water in them. 4-wheel drive
was needed to get to those lines far.
The next and last trap line to check was
line 5 below Hunter Reservoir. Again,
the roads were bad. We found no animals
in line 5. Much snow hindered locating
cans. One shrew was found and kept.
We then returned to the cabin to warm
feet and dry out. Alexander was very
cooperative all day. Ron stayed with him
most of the time.
