June 7 At 1600h I cleaned cage 1 in the barn with the
help of Megan Jahr. I weighed the 3 females. At 1700h
Megan and I left the barn to go set RC drift fence
traps. Then we drove back to the main office, signed
Megan in and then went to set MC drift fence traps.
We finished this task at 1830h. At 2030 we checked the
bat net by Mark Stromb's house but no bats. The
fog had begun to roll in around 1930h. At
about 20:50h we walked up the road by WC Grid
area listening for Saw-whet Owls. Alan later played
his recording of these bird twice. I heard the owls
further up the canyon and off to the side of the road. We walked
down into the canyon using the path that leads to the end
of the Grid stations. He climbed across the creek and
up the bank until we were right by the tree the
owl must have been in. However we could not actually
see the bird. Two other Saw-whets could be heard
further up the canyon. At 21:40h, back at the
car parked at the start of the path to Grid WC
we heard a Great Horned Owl call. We briefly stopped
back at Mark's net but still no bats.
June 8 at 600h the temp was 48F and the fog was thick.
Megan and I went to check MC drift fences at
6:20h. At about 7:15h we drove to RC drift
fences. At 900h we stopped at the barn
took smears of the 3 females then checked
