Bizzle D.O. 1988 Journal Hastings Natural History Reservation, Moroney Co., Calif. Jan.7 Arrived back down this afternoon around 1400hrs after a wonderful Christmas break! It snowed 5 inches down here while I was away, causing many branch falls. The high grasses and reeds along the creek bottoms are also smashed down. I set traps on grid RC from 1430 to 1630 hrs. A Bay tree south of station F,12 has fallen since it was [illegible] last time. Also, there are many Buckeyes on the ground, several which had rodent gnaw marks. Scott Edwards and Francis Villablanca met up with me just as I finished up. Francis will be around until tomorrow and Scott until the 10th. 2140hrs - out checking traps. It's overcast, calm, very slightly finished checking traps by 2340 hrs - great results this evening. Jan 8. 0720hrs - out checking traps on RC. It's overcast, calm, upper 40's Finished checking traps by 0930 and returned to lab with 3 animals to bleed.

Spent part of the afternoon helping Scott mist - net birds along BigCreek. Reset traps on RC grid's drift lines from 1500 to 1600hrs. Note that I caught a P.californicus (# 1953) and M.californicus (# 0120). Today was overcast all day, so perhaps that's why the P. californicus was out today.
