June 7 1 mi. N. Fletcher, 6100 Ft Mineral Co, Nev have disturbed the ground over the whole area! The weather in the day time was in the mid 80's, cool, to mid 50's at night, moon to full, set 11:00 PM? I used 69 10" shears with Bird mix as bait, 60 were set in sandy flat dominated by great Basin Sage, some purple sage, Kobnut rush, and a variety of Artemesia present. Picked up traps at 7:00 am, 6 females caught, very poor, 1 D. misioni, 1 D. ochii, 3 kangaroo mice, 1 ground squirrel and 2 ferocia caz. No D. microps. I will push on today to the arena valley, looking for a good block rush habitat for D. microphs there. no reason staying here another night, since there are few if any microphs to be had, too much gerzing. 3 mi.
