RIBBLE, D.O. 1980 PERDIXEUS CALIFORNIENSIS 18 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. April 24 received active signals from both #1142 & 1944 at station 6, 13. Wow! Perhaps these events were territorial aggression between #1137 (unhinder) and #1142 & 1944 (?). #1142 was not observed to visit the rest of 1979 this am. This am Karen & I brought #1135 & #1243 (covered with green) [ear] saliva powder from 1135) back to the lab. Blood was collected from #1243 & we took a vaginal smear from #1135. The smear worked well (see notes taken on specific animals by K. Klein). April 28 #1249 Q Lake SAD, nullip. 35g. Ear-tagged. GRID RC, St 13,10. Blood, ear, saliva. #1251 O' Imm, TAD 24.5g. "-".

This am I removed radio-collars from the following animals: #1944, O', 42g, scrotal (radio channel #4). and not working #1181, "", 38g, scrotal (radio channel #16 - radio chewed [not bad]). I also caught #1979 Q lactating when her collar (chi# 8), dusted her with RED Powder before releasing. This PM I tried to find the signal of #1979, but no luck (slut!). This PM while checking traps I 1) removed radio from #1146, 43.5g, pregnant and dusted her PURPLE 2) Captured #1232 with RED powder visible in ears and on rear feet (3) #1257 with [illegible] powder [illegible in ears), (4) #1227 with ORANGE powder visible in ears #1201 Q Imm, nullip 15g.
