Blood, ear, saliva collected Animal covered with fresh RED powder, plus offspring of #1943. Knew this animal was born 15 January, thus he is 35 days old. #1192 O Imm, TND. 20g " - " . West of Grid RC, approx. 2.5,5. Blood, ear, saliva collected. RED powder visible in and behind ears, so probably offspring of #1917. Actually caught 18 Feb (Pm), but bled this am. This PM I caught #1187 O, scatral at station 2,5 on Grid RC covered with GREEN powder (from #1423) Feb 20 This AM I reduscked #1164 Q, not-pregnant (?), with GREEN powder, at station 10,10 on Grid MC. I also reduscked #1154, Q, lactatus, with ORANGE powder on RC drift fence, St W-1c. Ear tagged poorly (watch it). Feb 21 #1194 Q SAD, nullip. 27.5g. Ear-tagged. RC drift fence. St E-3 act No sign of any powder March 2 This am on the drift fence west of RC I caught #1929 Q, M, post-lactating, maybe pregnant at W-1 (out). Her ear hadn't been clipped, so I collected vossies from her later this am along with animals below. I dusted her with PURPLE powder before releasing her at 1030k. Upon release, she didn't quite have her equilibrium and she was jumping at the traps at W-1 trying to get back in. So, I moved the traps and she promptly swerved back inside toward the grid. #1195 O Imm, TND. 20.5g. Ear-tagged. Grid WR, St 11a,14 Blood, ear, saliva collected #1197 Q SAD, nullip. 32g. " - " " 4, 2. " " March 4 #1199 O Imm, TND. 19g. " - " Grid MC, St 9,5. " (5 March) This animal had BROWN powder readily visible behind its ears and on its elbows at skin level. Thus, offspring of #1976. This PM while checking traps on MC, I caught #1971 O's #1128 O in the same trap at station 11,10. #1971 was in an excited state and fresh #1128 had 2 small cuts in its tail. They were either not pleased to be in the same trap or perhaps they inkacked aggressively.
