Released #1971 at its capture site around noon. Spent the
afternoon analyzing data. Reset RC traps & transact east of
RC from 1545 to 1615hrs. Discovered 4 newborn Microtus in
trap on RC drift fence (see Supp Acct Microtus). Reset MC
traps from 1630 to 1715hrs. Set a large Tomahawk live trap
at station B,12 to try [illegible] catch whatever is turning
over traps. Clouds moved in late this afternoon from an
approaching storm.
2100hrs-out checking traps on MC. It's calm, overcast, upper 40s:
I checked all traps this evening. Again, many traps were turned
and I found wine on 2 traps - one which was adjacent
to the large Havahart which had no sign of entry. So
wine has no particular foul smell, which makes me
think it is a canid. Perhaps Urocyon? Finshed by
2200hrs and headed home.
Jan 15 0700 hrs - out checking traps on MC. It's overcast and raining off
and on. It was raining @ 0600hrs this am.
