Today was sunny and warm (mid 70s). I reset all MC
traps from 1545-1645h and RC drift fence traps by 1730h. Note
that I switched all max/min thermometers across grids to see if
it has any diff effect (I knew they differed 1°F).
2115h-out checking traps on MC. It's clear, no moon (hasn't risen), low 50s.
Checked west drift fence, also. Good results this PM, better than
previous days. Finished by 2245h.
Feb 26 0645h-out checking traps on MC. It's clear, calm, upper 40s.
Picked up or opened up all grid traps as I checked. Finished by

0930h and returned to lab to collect tissues from new Pc (#1442)

Released #1442 at her capture point in good condition around 1100h.
Today was sunny and warm, again - from 1430-1630h I set and baited

moist areas. Also reset 16 National traps for Morleya across two
