I packed up and loaded to Berkeley today around 1100h. See Ellie's
Journal for action in my absence -- ---
June 25 Arrived back today at 15thrs. The mammal meetings were informative
and the break was nice! Ellie left yesterday, so the drift fence
traps were left closed blocking passageways. I loaded up the
truck with traps, etc., and checked on the captive animals - both
females are pregnant! (See notes on individual animals). I set
(trapped hygrograph paper)
traps on RC and RC drift fences from 1045 to 1830hrs. The
amount of new growth of blackberry, clover, and poison oak
across our trails is impressive - need to cut it back tomorrow.
Set MC drift fence traps, finishing by 1900h. The moon is
>1/2 full and overhead (~120'clock) when the sun set around
2030h.
June 26 0600h - out checking traps on MC. It's clear, calm, low 50s. Started checking
traps on RC by 0630h - finished around 0930h and returned to
lab with 3 new animals to bleed and 1 mortality to prepare.
Released the new animals around noon (all in good shape)
at their capture sites. Checked on the lab animals on my
way home for lunch.
