ferns, shrubs) has greened up and many flowers
have started blooming - gorgeous!
Spend the day with my parents & Mel. No traps set
yesterday.

Today was mostly clear and warm (upper 60's). Mel and I
set and baited all traps on GRID MC and MC drift
fences from 1500-1645h. Took Z too few traps and
didn't set traps at station 10,4. Didn't set RC
drift fence traps.

~7/8 full and fairly bright (about 10 o'clock in western sky). Not many
animals this early. Finished by 2215h.

lightly. Many new animals captured this am. Finished checking traps
