I also caught 4 immigrant adult O>>O at H-tes. 117, 201A, 210 & 134. So this a >> response to the ♀ reproductive response to acorn abundance. At 0453 PST a noisy pig passed me by on Haystack while I was working on a new >> at H-ze 117, hovever I could not find that same pig when I went looking for it again about an hour later. I did find an owl pellet, beside one of the telegraph poles on Haystack Hill path, with the dentaries and some bones from a juv Nestoma (Cat# : PK 172). Skinned the head of the pig in prep for transport back to Berkeley tomorrow ( with the meat ) 5.30pm Started setting traps at specific house for selected ( i.e. missing ) woodrats. At H-ze 98, I found a partial skull (Cat# PK173) with well worn molars ( from a lge old O ? ) left on top of the trap I placed there on Thurs. evening. A gift from the current occupant (O) 1192 ? ) . More surprising however was the discovery of an active mouse immediately
