W.fuscipes 12 "
P.baylii 4 " (1new)

TOTAL 55 captures (4new).
Shoes cleared quickly this am, and today was sunny. I set
McDrift fence traps from 11030 - 1700h, then released R.#1505 on
GRID W.R., and reset all RC drift fence traps by 1815h. I also
set grid traps at stations 4,13; 5,12; 5,13; to try and catch
offspring of 1364.
2200h - out checking traps on R.C. - Clean, cold, no moon - Results

5,12-1507 F 1mm, nullip, 15.5g. Covered w/ GOLDEN BROWN (mouth, ears, feet):= 1364FF
Returned to the lab promptly to collect tissues from 1507 (above) and will release her
in the am.
