then watched the Mistr nets for an hour and we drank a bottle of rum to keep warm. Only one Myotis flew into the nets. After dinner, Jim showed slides and talked about his work in Peru. We then checked our traps once more. No woodrats however.
Oct. 20. Betsy & I got up at 6am to check our traps. It was still dark outside but not so cold. There was nothing in the Bat nets, or in Betsy's Tomahawks which were set to catch lemmings. However the rat traps contained a few zurb gizes: 4 of the 15 contained a plastic blood stained hand, a rubber cockroach, a plastic mechanical penis, a packet of candy condoms and overly-perfumed panties, an erotic photo with message. I don't know what I did to deserve this. Luckily for the culprits I also got some rats however: 6.40 am
H2E T109 (44) Ø # 2247 (from T77 last week).
H2E T107 (47)♀ 225 g # 2250 large bot fly larva below throat on l. shoulder
H2E T111 (50) Ø 250 g # 2251 returned to T114(56)
We also caught a beautiful grey fox on top of Haystack Hill. He took about a dozen rodent carcasses from Betsy as well as cleaning out the trap bait as well. Headed back to Berkeley at 2:20.
