54 Arturo and Conrad not there. Then drove to Sis juniper where we met Sage & Christie. Then went up to the cave with Sage and string a lot, not across the mouth of the cave with the lot droppings. Clear, not windy. at dusk set 9 cage traps, baited with oats, amaryllis, polo/pedi, aspera nigra; some Eimeriump droppings. Caught 1 Histioteus monticola at 10:30, total prog. Two owls courting ad snuggling after dusk. Took down net + traps at 11:30; no scare late and saw none, about 6 hares crossed road on our way home; did one. Nov. 23 Drove to San Bayas with Anita, Sage, Brewer, and David. Met Daniel Gorgori and a video cameraman and Daniel's wife of E.S. Kretzler who brought them on to the microwave tower on the mesa south of San Bayas. Various lizard stops en route, especially at the edge of the rim rocks above San Bayas where Sage captured a remarkable dunevity. Picnic spot at the south edge of the mesa where there are good rock pinnacles with lots of Eimeriump droppings and some Reithrodonts. Then hiked from the base of the microwave tower about 1½ hrs west to Sage's juniper (another one!), one of the blue-tote desert lichen offices on the satellite photos. Sage had been there before when there were hundreds of black-socked swans. This time there were about 500 cardigans plus coats plus corn-crows plus quail plus frogs plus invertebrates, probably no fish.
