Disual: Spent the rest of the morning cleaning out the capture mice enclosures and collecting tissues from the capture mice. It stayed overcast and cold all day.
Reset MC grid traps from 1530-1630h and checked the max/min thermometers before sunset.
Since so few animals have been captured early, did not going out tonight and will go out early tomorrow
