1977
6 mi. N 31 mi. W Hiko, 4800 ft. Lincoln Co. Nevada
27 March
0700 awoke and checked traps. 8° C. Calm,
clear, cold night. ½ moon most of night.
2 Microdipodops megacephalus
1 M. pallidus
1 Microdipodops ? (may be hybrid)
1 Peromyscus maniculatus
5/300 = < 2% success
locations of actual trapping sites for each
animals are in Catalogue.
Emily was running a fever (ca. 104°) so
we decided it best to head back.
1045 - Departed contact zone. Warm and windy.
Hit heavy winds around Warm Springs.
(Approx. 40 mi. SW of warm springs on Hwy6, we
noted a large buck Antilocapra run
across the thry and up a canyon - large
horns!.)
Very strong winds all the way home -
a very tiring drive. -- so appropriate end
to a rather unsuccessful trip.
