April 7 16:30 Im going to head out to set the drift fence traps
at MC and RC a little early because I want to collect
wildflowers and plants as I go along. It's cooler this
afternoon than it has been the last couple of days:
low 70's - but with a cool breeze blowing [illegible] and clear
blue skies.
April 8 07:00 Out checking traps on the MC drift fences. It's
clear and calm with temperatures around the low
50's. There was frost on my car windows and on
some of the meadows so it must have been pretty
cold last night. I finished checking traps at about
09:15 - it went well!
8:00 I'm leaving to set traps at the drift fences in
RC and MC. It's been clear and sunny all day.
A constant breeze has blown and temperatures
have been in the mid to high 70's.
April 9 07:00 Out checking traps on the MC and RC
drift fences. It's clear with a slight breeze
and temperature is in low 50's. I finished at
09:30. It really warmed up quickly, it's probably
around the high 60's already and a warm wind
is blowing. Im going to get started a little earlier
tomorrow. Im also going to set some extra traps
at RC E and possibly W; there were a lot of
animals there today!
10:45 Im heading out to pick up some more bait and
traps and then to set the RC and MC drift fences.
