Oct 2 (Sun) Returned to lab to process tissues of # 1943. I had a hard time
with this one - while it was screaming blood dried over its
eyes binding its eyelids. I was able to get the lids
apart and kept her in a holding cage all of forenoon
to keep an eye on it. Late afternoon M. Stanback
helped me finish up the drift fence west of
RC-1. We used ~60 ft. more flashing. The stations
ended at W-10 (not W-11 as estimated). After putting
finishing touches on the fence by myself, I set the
live traps on both west & east drift fences of RC-1
between 1530 and 1630. At 1700 hrs I released
# 1943 at station 11,110 on MC-1, and proceeded
to reset all traps on MC-1. Finished 1800 hrs.
Weather today was as yesterday: warm (hi 80's), clear.
Oct 3 0700 hrs - out checking traps on MC-1. Clear and calm. Finished checking traps
on MC-1 at 0830 hrs. Finished checking RC-1 drift fences at 0930. Returned
to lab to stuff sorey & collect tissues from # 1015.
