Sept 30 Got up 6.30 am and after a cup of coffee
went out to check the Spring Sites traps
with Diana land. I was surprised to get
nothing at the Upper Spring Site although
the lettuce had been eaten in some traps.
However at the Lower Spring Site, I got
four animals (one already tagged # 2205 ),
of 6
remembers that line was set c 3.30-4 pm so
chances of all bait being eaten by mice or
chipmunks was slim. Thinking of rebaiting
again in the late afternoon but its threat
ening to rain here.
# 2205 is the ♀ I released at the Upper
Spring on April 21. Weighed, sexed and
tagged the other four animals.
Ear Tag No. Sex Wt Site
2205 (recap.) ♀ 280 g l. Spring
2170 ♀ ♂? 265 g U. Spring
2169 ♂? 175 g l. "
2173 ♀ 180 g l. "
2171 ♂ 345g. l. "
# 2171 appears to be an old battered ♂, one upper
incisor broken, Los 1,244 on Back left foot missing.
Released all five animals at site of capture
(within site) at about 4.30 pm. Intermittent rain
and light snow showers, so lifted all traps by 7pm.
Oct 1 Got Greyhound back to Oakland ($19) 5hr Journey.
