RIBBIE, D.O.
1988
Procyon lotor
(7)
Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif.
Feb 6 (pm)
2:30 p.m. - caught #1123 ♀ (radiod) in a trap set near 3.5, lo. I first
received a signal from this area, then 30 mins later I heard the
trap offer; so, I assume this was here. I tried to grab her from
the trap without a plastic bag, but she escaped. From what I
could see, her collar looked in good shape.
Feb 7 (pm)
This AM I caught #1917 at 3.5, lo in a Sherman set for #1123; 1976
(see above). She was lactating, so I dusted her with RED Powder.
Her dorsal pelage is very patchy, with patches of thin black fur.
This PM I caught #1914, ♂, central, west of Gud MC at station 1,5. He
was covered with fresh RED powder (from #1917 above). On
Gud MC I finally caught #1023 at station 1, lo on Gud MC.
(see B Feb acct).
I returned him to the lab for tissue collection tomorrow am. Also
caught #1976, ♀, 4:45, post-lactating at 11,5. I dusted
her with GREEN Powder. Also caught new animal:
#1184 ♀ SAD, nullip 30g. Ear-tagged. GRID MC, St. 11,5 (off-grid) salamander.
No visible sign of any powder. Not sure who she belongs to, probably
#1976. See Acct 18 Feb
Feb 8
This am I caught #1123 ♀ at her nest site, ot. 4.5,7. She weighed
43g and I got one drop of milk from her teats. I removed her
collar and dusted her with GREEN Powder before releasing her.
#1023 - I bled #1023 this am. His tag is turned around and
could potentially lose it. He has previously been clipped
for ear tissue, but I clipped another ~9mm² area so his left
ear looks like [illegible]
This PM I caught #1023 on MC at 11,4, covered with fresh ORANGE
Powder (from 1976).
Feb 9.
This AM I redusted #1976 with ORANGE Powder at station 11,5 on MC.
She is also definitely lactating.
