26 August (cont.) Vicinity W of Deming, Luna Co., New Mexico.
Trapping results. Drove into town, where we put-up the Dipodomys (took blood, tissue,
reprod. tracts, sperm) then, while pinning out
the new specimens, we noted maggots on the
drying specimens. Thankfully not too much
damage was done. We drove back to camp
in the Red Mtn. area where we set the
skins out in the sun to dry.
1700 plinked around with the gun for awhile.
Wrote-up field notes and relaxed. This
whole area seems to harbor many Sylvilagus
and lepus. We noted many last evening
and expect the same tonight.
1830 - drove to re-set traps in same localities
as last night.
