July 14 In a word, it was a BITCH setting those! Uphill, and lots of
Pison oak and shrubs to cut through. We didn't finish setting
traps until close to 2000h. We were so exhausted and because
it was getting dark, we didn't set any of the drift fence traps.
July 15 0630h - out checking traps on WR dispersal transects with
Megan Lynn (she arrived last night). Foggy, mid 50s this am.
Only caught 3 tagged PC, all close to the grid. Did catch
quite a few new PC which we ear-tagged and collected
tail tips. Finished after 1000h and returned to lab to process
tails and take vaginal smears.
Today was warm (upper 80's) and breezy. This afternoon we worked
on location & size of trees on GRID MC. Reset WR dispersal traplines
from 1630-1800h. I used the "South Arrow" and Julie and Megan
10set "West Arrow". All stations were shifted 10m away from
grid. Reset MC and PC drift fence traps by 1900h. Also set
traps for F/3801 at woodpile (see telemetry data)
July 16 0600h - out checking traps on MC. Clear, low 50's. Tagged new
(C) juvenile at woodpile (#1758 llg, F, hum) and removed the
radio-collar from F/3801 (see telemetry data). Proceeded
to check and pickup dispersal traplines on WR. Finished
after 1000h and returned to lab to take vaginal smears and
collect tissues from 1758. Julie and Megan returned her in
good shape by 1100h.
I took off for Berkeley today, will be back waaaaita -
Julie will take the next next 24h off..
July 17 Arrived back by 1500h this afternoon. We set and baited
all traps on GRID PC from 17-1830h, and MC drift fence
traps by 1900h. Set traps again at the upper woodpile for
catchings of F/3801.
