Apr. 21 Spent the morning and early afternoon
updating some field notes at the Red Hze.
At 3pm got hold of Anne and we set 6 traps
in the E.Oaks way up Central Canyon (Noyce
Ranch, NW of Blom Pond). We also set 11 at
9 freshly marked Hzes on the E.+S.E. sides
of Haystack Hill. We then continued with
the intensive trapping program in the E. Fld.
Anne cooked noodles + veg for dinner. We
went back out and checked traps from
about 10.30pm to 1am. Left some traps open
all night (esp on Haystack and the Noyce Ranch).
Wed, Apr 22 Got up @ 7.30. Picked up Anne from Buck Hze
Resort. ♀ 1304 in Central Canyon. We also
tagged 2 new rats on Haystack Hill (Hk, ♀ 1391[pi;
H9, ♀ 1393/94). Spent most of the day contin
uing my "reclamation" of my individual
trapping records/life histories.
5.30pm started resetting traps. Anne did
the traps in Central Canyon, on Haystack Hill
and from 201-210 while I set traps for
a variety of ♀♀ (+young) and some ♂♂>
in the long Fld. While doing so I found
♂> 1386-1356 dead on the ground beneath
100 A. It's interesting that we heard extensive
squeaking/squawking coming from 100A area
last night and decided to leave 2 traps
open as a result. I didn't notice him this
