Nov. 21 The Dapand. Robert and I set number
26-35. We need peanut butter and oats
as bait. After setting the traps, we
walked back to camp. Robert and
I followed a trap line set by resdart
biologist John Davis. These were homemade
dive traps made of wire mesh. We saw
a dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) in
one trap and a California thrasher in
another (Toxostoma redivivum). There
were also many acorn woodpecker
in the area (Melanargus erythrocephalus).
This species has been and is being
studied extensively here. I then helped
several people - Robert, Dandy, Rosetta,
Rend - set about 20 Sherman live traps.
These were non-folding and we used

gathered at a small water hole just
west of camp to hopefully mist net
some bats. The nets were set along the
water's edge. As dusk approached, we
observed bats flying around and drinking

showed [illegible] arctic flight were probably
Myotis, larger bats were probably
Lasinius. The moon was almost full and gave
