Oct. 18 Hastings Reservation, Carmel Valley, Monterey Co., CA.
Zoo 163 field trip to Hastings (Part I, 16 students).
Jim & Betsy left the MVZ @ 10:30am with Carol Patton and 9 students; I took 7 students @ 12 noon after their class commitments. We stopped in Salina for food and supplies. Got to the reservation at 3:30pm. Jim took 8 students up Haystack Hill to set traps at the 35 Station Calhoun line. Betsy took 4 to the 20 Station Oak Woodland line behind (south of) the School house, while I took 4 to the 20 Station line in Pierson Field. Jim also set up mist nets for bats over the Cow Pond on the Noyce Property. Many students also set Sherman and large & small Tomahawk live Traps. We only got one bat in the bat net.
Oct. 19 Got up at 7:30am. After breakfast every one headed off to check the Calhoun lines. We only had a Tree House and a Harvest House in Pierson Field. The morning was spent putting up study skins and autopsying the Calhoun line animals. In the afternoon I got a ride up to Arnold Homestead with Suzanne Schettler (the Maintenance Mgr). What a view, and so peaceful too. Around 5pm I set 15 Tomahawks for woodrats at some more of my marked houses in the long Field. Jim, Betsy and Mike Croall helped. We found the 2 missing traps from last week. (and that remains inside 127)
