Thurs 0>1651. The unidentified rat was possibly
Mar.10 0>1284 from H.47, he is also the probable
(cont.) father of 0>1651.
We then tried to do some playback
(before returning 0>1651 to H.51). The first
on Jeff's Takedeck
playback of the juv's squeals resulted in
?1489 coming out of H.51 again. But some
repeated playbacks from my smaller Sanso
Tape Deck (placed in the entrance to H.51) did
not illicit any response.
We packed up at 2245 PST. pretty pleased
with our evening's work.
Fri. 0620 Got up, had breakfast loaded the
Mar.11 truck and we headed off to Chew Ridge.
Jeff brought 3 decoy birds along in the
hope of collecting some cross bills. He
collected one 0 purple finch around 0800.
Within We set up in a secluded group of
Pines (?f? ) and Oaks on the N.W. side
of Tassajara Rd (Gate was unlocked)
oppisite the Chew Ridge Lookout Station.
We hiked around the area, no sign of
any rat houses - even up by the lookout
