August 7 continued)
approx 1700 we go to Douglas for dinner (2nd time in a week) at El Alamo and some grocery shopping. Pick up a few DOKs on the way home despite light moon.
August 8 Marcio sick & stays in - 0940h Dare & I arrive at the site of 929 to find >=4 shed skins in front of entrance (thus are new ones from yesterday), and her signal seemingly across the saddle to the south. Signal of CM 38 in the same site. I see a baby rattler skin under bottom leaves of a soto >=2m west of the birth site, and as I start to pull the skin out, see a neonate, fresh shed, in an 'S'ash coil up under leaves near base of soto facing out. Catch it w/out problems, & later discover its shed is among those in front of the birth site. approx 1100 after much searching Dare locates signal of CM 29 in dense low shrubs ~150m W.of birth site on same slope (our earlier reception on opposite slope thus due to signal bounce). At 1150h we get signals of 921, 36, 37 at her birth site. There are >=3 babies in shade at entrance, no green dots visible, no sheds.
