RIBBLE, D.O. 1984 Journal 45 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. July 25 (cont.) 2340 - #62 - #710,6 covered w/ Dark Green Powder, limbs, ears, tail, mouth: Escaped up slope. Official Max = 81; Min = 48 July 26. 0050 - #740,8# (8,8) - orange (flesh) on limbs; ears, but not mouth 0110 - #1335# (8,13) - red on limbs, mouth, ears, tail. 0115 - Recaptured #1334 - red at station 8,13. Followed her down to the stream bank before I lost the trail - Didn't look very hard due to time. Finished the first round of clocking traps @ 0150h (PST-daylight) The moon is rising to the east. 0315h - back for more fun. The skies are overcast and the moon is visible (>1/2 full) but not very bright. 0350 - Recaptured #746, F, at 10,16. 0455 - #1335 # (8,13) - red on limbs, mouth, ears, tail Finished hurried by 0515hrs. Note the lack of captures on the last half of the grid (as in the order I check traps). Perhaps the humming correlates other animal activity; dies down. Didn't recast animals a second time. Although the option was available for future reference.
