I got packed up & cleaned and headed for Berkeley by noon.
See Ellie's field notes for activities in my absence.
June 7 I arrived back down at Hastings around noon under
partly cloudy skies. Looks like rain for this afternoon.
Ellie and I spent all afternoon at Asilomar at the
Evolution meeting. We got back around 1800h and
hastled to set traps on grid WR. We finished
WR by 1930h and reset RC + MC drift fence traps from
15430 to 2015h. It was clear and cool (low 40s) this evening.
It's clear, calm, upper 30s (cool).
June 8 0545h - out checking traps on MC drift fences. Started checking
traps on WR by 0700h. Since we are going into Asilomar again
today, I opted to not bleed new P.californicus on WR this am.
We finished WR by 0900 and returned to the lab to blood
a new (#1286) P.californicus on MC drift fence. Ellie
released it in good shape around 0830h.
