Finished by 1600hrs and moved on to RC to set all drift fence
traps. Students from the mammal class set 10 mole spec traps
and ons around the east drift fence (at my suggestion). I added 2 more
at E-7. Spent the remaining hour of daylight with the
mammal class tending bat nets on Robertson Creek - no captures by
sunset.
2310h - out checking traps on GRID MC. It's cool (lower 50's) and
clean. The moon (~5th full, waning) is just rising. Finished by
2400h and returned to the cabin. Tonight time goes back to
Pacific Standard Time
Oct 30.
0105h - out checking traps on RC drift fences. Clean, calm, lower 50's.
Returned to the lab - no moles were captured in any of the seven traps.
Returned to the lab to pick up Ellie & Wendy Roberts, and we
began checking MC traps around 0750h. Desmal results - finished
by 0830h there were so few animals.
Summary of Results on MC:
P. californicus
P. boylii
P. truei

Frances brought back a multiparous female P. californicus from
Robertson Creek which I ear-tagged into put into one of the
enclosures (#144! - see appxct).
Reset all MC traps from 1510 to 1600h, and RC grid fence traps
from 16-1630h. The mammal class left the mole spec traps, so I
left them set. It's too dark to work now by 1730h.
Since there are so few animals on MC, I'll only check traps in the am.
