Kerr Wildlife Management Area, 12 miles west of Hunt Kerr Co,
Texas. Elevation 2550 feet.
June 4 Lepus californicus Odosceles virginianus
(cmt) Sylvilagus floridanus
June 5 In addition to nets at the fenced stock pond, I set up
another net adjacent to a nearby sunflower seed field. Both
sets were shaded in the am, and the pond nets were okay
in the afternoon, and while I caught several birds in
each net, none was a goldfinch. I shot two and missed one
other. I saw fewer goldfinches today. I worked the nets
from 06:25 to 20:45, except for a nap from 14:00-15:30.
While nets were open I visited a nearby spring briefly a
couple times in the morning.
