Today was sunny and warm (low 90's). In the afternoon, we worked on
more habitat on GP10 MC. Finished up rows 8 and 9 - only 2+ left.
Post all MC traps from 1145 to 1730h, and the set and baited all
Sherman and National traps on GP10 WR from 1745 to 1830h.
2230h - out checking traps on MC. Clean, low 50's. We checked traps
primarily for G? Pa to test against lab #1491 (e.g. left other species
in traps, didn't check all traps). Set up dyadic enclosure about
station 2,5 and put #1491 in one half and G? 1206 in other half.
Returned home by 2330h.
June 30 - 0440h - out on MC to conduct dyadic encounter. G? 1206 managed
to escape during the night - shut !! Probably dug out under edge.
Put one radio-collar on #100 (see next)
Proceeded to check traps as usual (0500h - sky just beginning to set
left). Finished by 0645h and proceeded to GP10 WR to check
traps - Lots of animals - mostly Westerns and P. tucci. Put
radio-collars on 2 #??. Finished by 0900h and used a new Fe.
Set the truck, #1662 ?. Julie returned her 11602 to her capture point
in good shape, and we returned to the lab to spin blood and take vag-swabs.
