Oct. 25 Hastings Reservation, Carmel Valley, Monterey Co., CA.
Part 2 of Zoo 163 Fieldtrip to Hastings. Jim
& Betsy left at 10am with their vanloads. I took the
later crew of four students at 12:30. We got to
Hastings at 3:45 pm after a 15 min stop for lunch
in Salinas. On arrival Jim decided to run the
Calhoun lines again this weekend. I took a crew
of 4 to do the Pearson Field line, while Betsy
did the School Hill line and Jim took the largest
group of Haystack Hill. We also set 20 Toma
hawk traps for ground squirrels mainly
on the Noyce Property. We have decided to
mark the Beechys with numbered ear tags
and colored hair dyes for behavioral ob-
servation. Jim also set mist nets at the
Cow Pond and caught 1 Lazurus. We all were
amazed with the clarity of vision through
the night vision goggles, thanks to a prac-
tically full moon.
Oct. 26 Jim wished us" out of our leags at 7 am
After breakfast the Calhoun lines were checked:
as usual the Chaparral line was the best,
and the Meadow line the worst. We tagged
and marked one ground squirrel, also
caught 5 more throughout the day. In the
evening we lifted all 35 squirrel traps and
then set them with 25 more for woodrats along
(Bob Jones gave me 22 more non collapsible Tomahawks.)
