P.A. Kelly 1985 12 Journal at the L. Spring. Seems there are currently only 4 woodrats in the vicinity of the field station. After lunch I went to Truck ee to stock up on gas & supplies. Then from 3.30 - 7pm set all my 25 Chipmunk Traps at rockpiles (Mile 4.2, H.9.4, & H.9.7.- see Escherich's thesis). Set 10, 5 & 10 respec tively, although in nearly all cases, the woodrat sign was old. Also checked out Mile 12 (near Sierraville). Saw 2 Red Tails (Mile 9.7 - H.12) and also some Calaveras Warblers at Mile 9.7. June 5 Got up at 6am & drove north on Hwy 89 to check all the traps. Got nothing at Mile 9.4 & Mile 9.7 but got adult ♂ & ♀, and two subadults at Mile 4.2. Took the 4 animals back to the Field Station for Sedation, Weighing, Ear-Tagging and Blood Sampling. Used Metofane (Hethoxyflurane - Pitman-Moore Inc) Inhalation Anesthetic. Would prefer a faster acting inter-peritoneal injection of Avertin or some other harm less anesthetic. Put in toe clips in case of loss of ear tags, also took 8-10 heamat ocrit tubes of blood from the toes.
