P.A. Kelly 1985 42 Journal Oct. 11. Hastings Reservation, Carmel Valley, Monterey Co., CA. Left MVZ at 5 pm with Cathy. Traffic on the Nimitz Freeway (17) was heavy and slow. Got to Hastings around 8pm. After dinner went for a walk and showed Cathy just how effective the MVZ's new pair of night vision goggles are. Unfortunately we didn't see any deer or carnivores for actual viewing. Oct. 12 After breakfast we got 57 old wood & wire woodrat-house markers (a la Lindsale & Tevis) from the Big Barn. With those, we proceeded to mark all the active-looking houses along the north-east side of the long field. Around 10am we saw a Golden Eagle circling over- head and being mobbed by a Redtail. We used up our last marker near to h.f.t.'s old (#57) Hx #74. After 6pm we set 31 Tomahawk traps, baited with peanut butter/oatmeal mixture, at the first 31 (east end) of those marked houses. Lots of birds around: Western Bluebirds & Bushtits, some Phoebes too. In the barn I earlier found a large woodrat trying to hide by burying its head, ostrich- like, in the corner of the a trash box. Many of the traps, incidentally, contained the mummified remains of mice. There were also Black-tailed about 3 dozen Mule Deer in the vicinity.
