Hastings Reservation, Nounkey Co., Calif.
April 24 (Mon) Returned to lab to spin down blood. Returned #1237 to its
capture site before noon. The afternoon was mostly sunny and warm (60s).
& From 1730 to 1800h we reset traps on GRID WR, adding more
traps so that every station has 2 traps. from 1800b 190th we
reset all drift fence traps on RC & MC. I also set 4 traps
at the east end of IZC for 1170's mate.
2100h - Marco & Karen set out for grid IC for telemetry work.
I will join them later. It is clear, moon is 1/2 full and directly
overhead, and it's cool (low 50s).
2300h - out to meet up with Marco on grid IC. There is a high thin layer
of clouds which is barely obscuring the moon. Marco checked a few
animals with me before leaving. See telemetry data for summary
of results.
April 25 01:15h - headed home for some shut-eye!
0640h - out on MC checking drift fence traps. It's clear and
cool this am (low 50s). Started checking traps on WR by 0800h.
Caught 2 new animals that we returned to the laboratory to bleed.
Summary of results on WR: P. californicus 11 captures (2 new)
P. truei 13 " (4 new)
P. boylii 3 " (new)
Perognathus 3 "
N. kayseni 4 '
TOTAL. 34 capt (7 new)
Today was sunny and clear, and warm (low 70s). Karen went into
town today, and Marco and I did some telemetry and potting
around on IC. We all re-assembled and reset traps on WR
from 1630 to 1730h - We put out 6 of P. kellyi's Nebrama
coyotes to try and catch Nebraska before they roll the slamers.
