Rattler (cont.) Periods of quiet feeding and probably some grooming, I did not try to get close enough to see what he was eating, but we would feed sites with flour and in the morning examined them. All had an assortment of small grasses and herbs such as fiddle (with green seed heads), smartweed (with flower or seed heads, only 2-3 inches tall), and small greases a couple of inches tall including which he ate. But then would hop away, leaving apparently undisturbed heads. He completely ignored overtalking, two - terce screening, broad out heating, and weak red flashlight. He did not dust - both, and we saw no other animal during this time. at 10:32 the taro-taros were screaming when he hopped almost a foot into the air (straight up) then ran about 5m and disappeared. The way had gone down a hole that was about 2m away from where I lost sight of him. Measured distance covered was 37 yards, no wind. We then hunted up along the fence post where we had seen three Rs more or less together, but got only a brief view of one at 11:04. To bed at midnight after checking traps. Got up at 3:45, full moon, cold, no wind. One brief view with NVGs at 3:55. At 4:00 located another adult in coarse, 8" grass W of the creek pit. He was hard to see, but I kept him in view until 4:31, when he disappeared. The only activity seen during this period
