Reithrodor (cont.) was feeding, but he might have ground. He travelled not more than 10m during this time. No motion to horned out and other sounds. Then hunted up along the level; saw hare a couple of times but no mice. On the way back to camp, about 10m west of where the preceding R was, in 8" grass, I saw another 3m more open turf near stood bridle pile. about 4:45 to 5:24 a.m. = 39 minutes. He pattered around the bridle pile, to which he had run when I appeared, for perhaps 10 or 15 minutes, doing some eating and grooming and ignoring another R that came within 6m of him 3 or 4 times. Then he hopped about 5m away and fed seriously for 10 or 15 minutes. Early morning bird chorus began during this interval, eastern sky lightened, moon set. Another R ran past him about 2m away, no reaction. About 5:20 he hopped back to the bridle pile, then to the tiny pile, where I lost him. In the morning we found a single neat round hole about 2m from where I last saw him. By this time there was enough daylight for me to cross the log bridge without flashlight. Brrr! all 3 of these mice spent their time completely exposed
