Kinney Co., Texas. Elevation 1700 ft.
May 28 mammals: Dasypus novemcinctus
(cont) Odocoileus virginianus
Sylvilagus sp.
May 29 I opened my nets just before sunrise. Between checks
of them, I walked parts of the drainages near the lodge. I
took a nap between 13:00 and 15:00. At 15:30, I visited near
Kelly's house to see water sources there, including a tinaja
N. of the dwelling. I tried following goldfinches to find nests
but did not succeed, though all birds seen were singles or
pairs. From 18:00 to 19:15, I resupplied my food store
in Bracketville. I then ran my nets until a bit after
sunset.
Weather today was pleasant. Temp 72° - 90°F, few
scattered clouds, nearly continuous sun. Breezy-windy
all day after 09:00, direction variable; After 11:30, about
10 mph SE -> S -> SW. Humidity moderate.
