I returned N. fuscipes #1343 to the lab and was barely able to
revive it in the sun. Put it in a holding cage for further (hopefully)
recovery.
This afternoon was clear, low 80's. Stuffed one of the Didelphis
this afternoon. Reset MC drift fence traps around 1630h, and
all RC traps from 1700 to 1830hrs. I added 8 folding Sherman
to the east drift fence (total 24) and 12 to the west
drift fence (total 34 traps). I also put 6 large Tomahawks
(Western size) traps at 6 stations across the grid.
Sept. 16.
0640h- out checking traps on MC drift fences. It's clear, 49F. Started
checking traps on RC around 0720hrs. I collected 1.5-2cm of tail
tip from all P. californicus captured this am. I put the first one under
Metofane, but the other 10 I did without anesthetizing. This
doesn't seem to shock the animals and they can escape without
being
