Sign is prominent everywhere (diggings).
Wild burro scat is also numerous. Expected
species include Perognathus longimembris, P. parvus
perhaps D. panamintinus, D. merriami, D. deserti
D. microps, Peromyscus eremicus, P. maniculatus
Neotoma lepida, Onychomys leucogaster.

630 am The lines are being checked. The few
traps seen by me on my way to my line seemed
to have excellent success. 1030 am All traps are
in, I set 25 traps & 4 were open this morning.
These 4 were faulty. The rest had animals. The data
presented here are lumped from all lines.
8 species, 79 individuals (~ 55% success — it
would have been much higher had all the trap
mechanisms been set properly).
