11B mi. E Boron, San Bernardino Co., 2500ft California
During trap checking we noticed various parts of an old tortoise shell,
several (tortoise?) holes near the base
of Atriplex bushes and a few small
annuals beginning to sprout (~7mm. tall)
The kit fox had apparently disturbed
several traps (we found the traps in
shallow holes where the (fox?) had
attempted to get into them). There
we feces (fox?) inside one of the
large boxes used to carry the non-
folding traps and also feces and
murky liquid on top of a few
traps. The feces contained rodent skull
fragments.
0900 - We broke camp and headed
for L.A. We later drove to San Diego
to visit Dacey's relatives.
