P.A. Kelly 1988 Journal Mar. 28 of acorns by clearing middens and monitoring (cont) build up of more lunks. I should also dismantle some houses on the Arnold to assess magnitude of acorn stores. 1931 pST.: At lab ♀1519-20 seems to be suckling all 3 young now. She's very quiet, hunched w. head down in bed but her heartbeat looks fast. She has eaten many of the 10 acorns I gave her this morning, so I gave her 10 more. I also gave her 2 leaves of lettuce, a med.- sized carrot. She still has H2O, a dish of cleaned corn and some Live Oak leaves. 2314 pST: ♀1519-20 still suckling all 3 young. Seems very quiet. Tues. 0016 pST: At H.103A captured two jwr. Mar. 29 females (♂1671-72, 53g; ♀1673-74, 58g). I caught their mom (♀1453-54) at H.102 (with ♂1173-74) about 30 mins earlier. She came over to H.103A and responded with tail-rattling from in and around 103A to their protest squeaks. She stuck her head out of 103A and watched me. I could also hear T.R. from H.102 (♂1173?). Put the 2 jwr in the same trap and reset the other one for Mom. She didn't go into the trap though by 0103pST. so I released both young - They entered H.103A. Slept in back of the truck until 0530pST.
