June 16 some more, and the snake greatly (continues) inflates criterion forms compact exaggerated S-coil (like Pseustes)
and repeatedly strikes w/ open mouth (white flash); at 2005 in an upper 200s Rd. Dave and I see a tawny large mouse w/ white belly and long tail, ~3m up in bamboo and 30m from Stream#1, 930m el. (Marjorie Matorq later tells us this probably a species of Niviventer). At 2035 in 945 m, we photograph TS#1 in arbush posture, 30cm above ground, head down body extended up 15mm diameter bamboo and anchored by tail. We check newt pond, photograph frog chorus and fragments of P. leucostephanus, but see no waterstriders.
Earlier in the evening Kelly caught a Sinomatrix triangularis w/ obvious food lump, and overnight in plastic bag it regurgitated grasshopper P. leucostephanus that had been swallowed first.
June 17 Leave ~0900hr for Old French Trail w/ Dave and Marvalee Wake, Marjorie and Mark; Ted was also on the trail and joined us from time to time.
