May 1 May Day. Ob 30th - out checking traps on MC. Clear, calm, upper 40s. Had
a flat tire this am which I changed before starting on RC drift
fences, 07:30h. ♀1183 was gone from her cage and mobabies were
left behind - seems to have worked!. Caught a new PC (1551), ♂,
lactating which I bled at the truck and then released
immediately. Actually started checking traps on WR by 0845h,
opened up all folding Sherman's as I checked traps, and picked
up all folding Shermans on return. Caught a new PC (1553)
which I later bled at the truck and immediately released.
♀1429 also left her cage and no babies found - another success.
Returned to lab by 1100h to spin blood and take vaginal smears of
lab females. Quite the morning!!
