Her.28 & 1460 did not return to H.5, where she
(cont.) was captured. Instead she headed
across through the canopy to H.6. She
didn't go into it immediately, but
actually foraged close to it. She
eventually entered H.6, albeit caut-
iouly. A min. or two later I could hear
a minor commotion - chase? no squeals
- but no woodrat, excited the House.
0800 PST: Red Hze. I was ravenous after
the morning's work. Demolished a large
breakfast of Huevos Rancheros.
1100 - 1230 pST.: Collected fecal sample
from the trap shelters (usually ~30
pellets per shelter) that had rat over
the last 2 nights (110 to 25). 22 samples
in all from Houses 25, 32, 34, 41^47, 50, 56, 61, 62, 69,
71, 76, 82, 85, 90, 91, 91A, 92, 96, 97, 98, & 100C.
1600 - 1900 pST. Setting traps, clearing Poison
Oak + other jobs. Also collected more fecal
samples from Hzes 1, 5, 6, 7, 16 and at 11 when
I captured D'1607-09 at 1916 PST.. He had 10 pellets
by then even though he couldn't have been in the
trap any longer than an hour.
1802 pST.: lot of acorn bushes in front of
disinfected H.120. They are coming from the
side in Red Willow overhead. Also see a lot of them
at other houses. I must test the importance
