P.A. Kelly 1984 26 Journal between the trap door and the trap side. Luckily we had a bag over the entrance. Also recaptured # 2205, the old ♀ at Lower Spring, for the 2nd time. Oct. 28 The clocks were put back one hour last night bec ause of the change to winter time. So from 6:30-8am we checked and lifted all remaining 38 traps but we got no more woodrats. This was probably due to trapping out at the Spring Sites and some (some were closed but empty) escares, from the larger traps along Hwy 89 sites. Also we got no rats at the Rockslide although Ellen Woodard released an adult ♀ (# 94) and her three subadult offspring (#s 91, 92 & 93) there a week or so after I gave them to her on June 16. The big old ♂ (# 2171, 345g) which I trapped at the Lower Spring on Sept 30 also seems to be gone - I should have taken him for tissues then. So we got 8 bushy-tails in all: Upper Spring - 1♂ 4♀♀ Lower Spring - 3♀♀ Mile 4.2 - 1♀ We need some animals for tissues as well as the one which has died already. So decided to kill the Mile 4.2 ♀, and the oldest & youngest ♀♀ from Lower Spring (used Chloroform). Released the remaining four animals at the upper spring (#s 2176, 2170, 2177, ♀ L.S.♂ ♂♀ 2174).
