RUBBLE, D.O. 1989 Journal 49 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. April 25 From 1730 to 1800h we set out a transect of 7 stations (2 traps per) along Robertson Creek at its confluence with Finch Creek (just below the Hastings gate). The purpose of this transect is to capture a mated pair to put into captivity for fluorescent powder experiments. We finished by setting RC #1 then MC dispersal fences from 1830h to [illegible] 2030h - Marco set out for telemetry on LC and RC. I'll be going out around 0300h (yippie-skiippe) April 26 0305h - put on RC. It's clear, cool, moon is a 5/10 full & just catching animals. Caught this male on RC: 9,17 1955 ♂M scrotal 42.5g. Covered with RED powder. P.C. @ 0200 10,10 1137 ♀ M heats very subtle, but no milk. Left him in trap to radio-collar later this am. See Telemetry data. 0630h - beginning to get light. 0800h - Light enough to see without flashlight, so all start checking drift fence traps. I did saw (See Appendix for P. californicus locations) more telemetry between drift fences. Finished checking all drift fences & last telemetry locations at 0710h & headed down to gate to meet Marco's Lawn. Results on transect (P. californicus only): 5# #2 #1135 ♀ uniparous. 45g. Dusted Green Powder - Ear tagged! Dec 8/6 (see appendix) New 3 1243 ♂ Mat, TND 43g. These two animals will make good captures, assuming they are mated. We started checking traps on CR by 0800h, finishing by 0900h. We returned to the lab with 1955's & 1137 to put a new collar on #3=1955 & replace the collar of 1137. We put a collar on #1955, Ch #10, and #1137, Ch #7. Returned them to their capture sites and released them at 1045h (see P. californicus Appendix).
