This PM we # radio-collared the following mice:
#1142 - F.M., post-lactating, 40g. Ch#7. Dusted Golden Brown
1181 O? M., scrotal , 37g. Ch#10. Faint Purple visible in ears
April 24
1137 F. M., post-lact (normal), 48g. Ch#5. Dusted Orange
#1237 F. M., nullip, 19.5g. Ear-tagged. Gprd 2c, St. 5,8. Bloodier, saliva, coil.
No sign of any powder, but based on locality this mouse is probably
offspring of 1137.

1240 F. Mat. pregnant. 44g. Ear-tagged. Gprd WR, St 4,3. Saliva, coil.

Last night around midnight I caught #1232 at station 9,17 covered
with RED Powder, thus she is probably offspring of #1174
April 26
This AM while doing telemetry, a strange movement by #1142 was
recorded. At 0550h she was not near 16/14 where she had been
most of the evening. I went to later check drift fence
tags, and when I returned at 0830h she was at the most
side of #1979, St. 9,17. By itself this is not so unusual, but
she did the exact same thing the previous morning (see Telemetry Data)
Then, later in the AM around 1000h #1142 is back at her
normal front side. Weird. These two females are not closely
related as best I know.
This am we changed the collar of #1137 to Ch#7 (her
original radio had a hole in it & was not working). Her testes
are very swollen, but no milk is expressed. Also, we
collared #1955, O?, scrotal, Ch#10. He was covered with
RED Powder so is presumably the mate of 1174. Both of
these animals were released around 1045h this AM
(took photos of #1137).
