This is the second trapping night at this locality and we have caught no Peromyscus;
and both times, a kit Fox has bothered out traps (the feces of the Fox were noted to contain live parasitic worms of some type).
1000 - After lying in the sun for awhile and re-measuring the vegetation density, we departed the locality. We drove NE on the dirt road which finally took us back to the highway. [We did not use the road that we came in on due to the sandy area we barely escaped from yesterday.] We noted one more medium sized Tortoise along the dirt road as we drove out.
