July 29 (cont)
In the afternoon Ellie took humidity measures and combed
Neotoma middens on RC while I worked on my paper.
I reset MC drift fence traps around 61730; both of us
reset WR grid traps from 1800-1830; and RC drift fence traps
from 1940 to 1950plus.
July 30
0000h - out on MC drift fences checking traps. It's clear, calm, full
moon in west. Started out checking traps on WR around 0715h.
Finished by 0830. Returned to the lab & Ellie weighed the babies.
Summary of results WR: P.californicus . (captures)
P. truei : 19 " (1new)
N. fusipes : 11 " (2new)
P. boylii : 3 "
Perognathus : 4 "
Total : 43 " (3new)
Ellie took humidity measures around noon - I spent the
afternoon preparing specimens - 1 Spingolulus and 3 of the
captive P.californicus (#1135, 1295, & 1332). I decided
to this now rather than have someone else take care of
them in my absence (& Ellie) during August (See catalog
& notes on specific animals for details)
Ellie reset MC drift fence traps around 1730h, then we
both reset WR & RC traps from 1815-1915h.
July 31
0000h - out on MC checking traps. It's foggy and cool this ain!
First break in the weather we've seen in a while. Started checking
traps on WR by 0700. Picked up all traps as we checked them.
Finished by 0830h and headed back to the lab. Weighed
(also sacrificed & #1243)
babies, ear-tagged them, and collected tissues from them -
I'll be taking them up to Berkeley with me today.
