Ellie weighed the babies this am while I bled a new animal
from RC. We finally got some rest later this am.
Ellie took humidity readings around 1330h and I released the
new animal on RC in good shape at 1500h. Spent the rest of the
afternoon entering capture data, etc. Today was hot (again)
(100) and calm.
Reset MC drift fence traps around 1800h and all RC
traps from 1930 to 195h.
2230h - out checking traps on RC. It's clear, calm, moon
~ 50 full and in Western skies. Not many animals captured
tonight - maybe due to moon. Finished by 2330h & loaded home.
July 24 0600h - out checking traps on MC. It's clear, calm, low 60's. Started checking
traps on RC by 0130h and finished by 0815h. Stopped at WR to record
temps & return to lab. Summary of results on RC: P.californicus 23(pm) 24(am) #ind.
