(cont)
We finished setting traps ~1900. There was a slight breeze and it began to cool off as the sun set. We ate hot-dogs and had some beer then crashed about 10 PM. Windy all night - not especially cold (~40°F).
14 April
3.0 mi. N. Mojave, Kern Co., 3100 ft., California
0645 - awoke and checked traps with following results:
35 Dipodomys merriami
7 D. panamintensis
22 Perognathus longimembris
4 Neotoma lepida
1 Ammospermophilus leucurus
6 Onychomys torridus
19 Peromyscus maniculatus
Success = 94/170 ÷ 55%
The morning was cool and somewhat windy. We released the Peromyscus and Neotoma and returned all the [illegible] heteromijids to the lab for study. I brought back the Onychomys to send to Dr. Baker at Texas Tech. (Upon return to the lab, 1 PM, I had given birth to 2 young.) 0900, headed for Los Angeles.
