Summary of Capture Results:
P. californicus: 12 total captures (8?, 4?), 1 new animal (0?)
P. boylii: 14 total captures (6?, 8?), 1 new animal (0?)
P. truei 4 total captures (10?, 3?)
Perognathus californicus 1 ?
M. californicus 1 ?
N. fuscipes 3 captures (210?: 2?)
Total captures = 35
Perhaps low capture success is due to heat & moonlight. Also,
caught Peromyscus at stations previously dominated by
Westoma. The clouds burned off by noon, except for
a few high scattered clouds. Today was cooler than yesterday
(high 80s).
In the afternoon, I set out stations one for a grid in
Robertson Creek on Tranline X. The going was slow because
I had to cut transects through the poison oak. I was
able to finish 20 stations and I set 2 traps at each station
to begin monitoring this grid. Designate this grid RC-1.
[illegible] See map of grid below.
Finished resetting traps on MC-1 around 1800 hrs
