The temp. was in the low 50's early, but quickly increased as the morning passed. Last night was cloudy to clear, with no moon. I spent the rest of the morning with Patrick Kelley. We found the Calhoun line in the Chaparral at the top of Haystack Hill - I'll trap there tonight. 8:1440 - finished setting Trapline II. Trapline II - Madrone Canyon, starts ~ 1/4 mi past laboratory. 10 stations, 2 traps per, both w/in 1 meter. Bait - rolled oats & birdseed. 10-20m between traps. Complex riparian habitat. No posset along most of stream. Soil litter very deep where grass isn't growing. Trapline III ~ Chapatal Calhoun line, starts just west of Haystack Hill point, and runs SSW through Chimise. Numbered posts are about 5m I apart. Set all tags to the west of the post, 2 traps per station, traps w/inm of each. Found bobcat scat in Chimise, and several shelled acorns. Reset traps on Traplines I, II, III the rest of the afternoon. Came across a large Rithopis in Long Field - not very friendly! Max temp: 71o, Min temp 46o
