Aug 12 0700 - C. Schneider & I are checking traps while Marco begins working on
the drift fence. It's cool (lots) and thick fog this morning.
Summary of Results: P. californicus: 1 capture
P. boylii : 5 "
P. truei : 5 "
Perognathus : 6 " (3 new)
Neotoma : 2 "
Total : 19 captures.
We spent the rest of the day working hard (!) on the drift fence.
We finished the fence east of MC-1; it took ~[illegible] feet of drift fence
material (actual distance is less due to overlap, etc). It doesn't
look as "clean" as I had imagined, but will certainly suffice.
We also cleared the path for the fence to the west and put
up ~ 70 ft of fence before setting traps between 1830 and 1900 hrs.
Aug 13 0700 - checking traps on MC-1. Weather same as yesterday
morning. Summary of Results: P. boylii - 10 captures (2 new)
P. truei - 5 captures
Perognathus - 7 "
N. fuscipes - 6 " (1 new)
28 captures
By 1200 we finished the drift fence west of MC-1. It
took ~ 210 feet of material. Chris Schneider took off for
Berkeley after lunch. In the afternoon Marco & I finished
off the fence west of MC-1. We reset traps around 1500 hrs.
We spent the remaining afternoon clearing the vegetation
for the drift fence east of RC-1. Bill Lidicker arrived around
2000 hrs.
Aug 14 0700 - not as foggy this morning, but skies overcast.
Summary of Results: P. californicus : 2 captures.
P. boylii : 6 "
P. truei : 6 "
Perognathus : 8 "
Neotoma : 4 "
Total : 26 captures
