22 April
recorded... The ? longimembris were also slightly scarred
but probably less so than more sv.. I put the ?
long., 4 meriamii in plastic huilding cages ( sm, lg, resp.)
put micro seeds, lettuce, & cotton w/ & placed
them in the shop at Rosevalley Ranch.
This afternoon trapped pocket gophers on Rosevalley
Ranch. Set ~15 macables in alfalfa seed &
collected 3?? -2 dead , one alive. The aline
individual joined the long. + meriamii in the
shop.
23 "
Caught many more animals today - didn't
keep tight records since am only interested
in pregnant females. Still, caught many ?
meriamii which had given birth already. Saved
several ?? which didn't seem to be nursing
young. Also, the P. longimembris are in
good breeding form. Many pregnant ?? were
cought , though mostly "mid-pregnancy" judging
from degree of distension. Several however, seem
due to have babies in next week. Also trapped
more gophers at Rosevalley Ranch. One which we
took alive & a macable yesterday was dead today.
~~~Another large animal was taken w macable aline
today.
