19 0100 Peromyscus californicus, ♀, mature, periorbital
VIII 20 0300 P. boylii, ♀, mature, perforate? parous - large nipples. Must have
been lactating very recently
All ♂ P. boylii were toe-clipped to save on ear tags. Finished checking
these traps by 0650h.
Summary of captures on MC-1.
P. californicus - 30 total captures (15♂, 15♀), 28 recaptures, 2 new animals
P. boylii - 34 total captures (180? ♂), 24 recaptures, 10 new animals
P. truei - 7 total captures (3♂, 4♀), 6 recaptures, 1 new animal
N. fuscipes - 15 total captures (4♂, 8♀ - Didn't tag 3 animals)
M. californicus - 1 recapture
P. californicus - 1 recapture
Reset traps on MC-1 from 1615 to 1800h, then finished resetting traps
on Trapline VIII by 1830h. Today is the coolest day, yet. Calm, clear,
high in low 80's.
2250h - Out for nighttime check - clear, calm, mid 50's, thought
I'd plan on checking traps twice - resetting between checks.
