Hastings Nat Hist. Res.
around 11:30pm
Jan. 4th I was called at home in Albany by Mark
Stanback. He and Nancy Popkin were returning
to Hastings when they noticed a woodrat (02257)
sitting at the side of the lane (close to H1) near
the Y. Mark approached him on foot and
he eventually tried to crawl away using
only his front feet. He didn't have any
power in his hind-quarters. He didn't squeal
when Mark lifted him by the base of the
tail and he didn't have any outward signs
of injury. Mark placed him in an aquarium
with bedding and food in the hope that
he would recover. He died 2 days later.
Cat # PAK 159.
Jan 13 8pm Saw [illegible] 14 frogs come across the lane from
Gate Field into the long field (around the Spider
Tree). Many of the frogs were large. I think
5 or 6 cows were present. I walked to within
about 30 yds before they headed back if Gate Field again.
Jan. 14 While Trapping in the area of the 2nd Crossing
for the first time saw a large bobcat eat a gopher
in Horsetail Field. Approached him(?) to about 50 yds,
he headed up into the chamise.
