ground-squirrel capture.
In the afternoon tried to find Escherick's
"Stream" Site on the north side of Leophold's
cabin but no luck. Instead I lifted the
3 traps from the "Rockslide" and 5 from
the L. Spring and relocated them through-
out the U. Spring (18 traps in total). Then
laid down (4) Havaharts at the L. Spring-
the Station's supply of 16" Tomahawk traps
apparently has been moved back down to
Berkeley. Good job I brought my own supply
of 25 Chifmunk Traps with me.
eate afternoon, I reset the 7 traps at
* a Beechey
X89 but also set a huge Tomahawk
round Squirrel
-base of hill
for an apparent resident carnivore (badger?)
ear Lge boulders
Baited it with a tin of cooked beef from
the back of the kitchen cupboard.
As the night stayed dry and not too
cold, decided not to do a late-night
trap check and instead hit the sack early.
2, Jun 4 Got up at 5.15 am I checked all traps.
U. Spring: #2174, #2176, #2177 & 2 Ground Squirrels
L. Spring: Nothing
X89 : Nothing
Released -> #2179 at the L. Spring and
proceeded to collect all the traps. Found
a large Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis)
