Wed.
Dec. 21 0700: Checked traps with Sooji, Maria & Jim.
We caught 16 rats at 15 houses - 29 trapped (house)
(48.3% trapping success/live). The low success
is no doubt a function of the continuous
and often heavy rain that fell all night
long. Nevertheless, all 16 animals were snug,
dry and cozy in their shelters. Caught a
new & (1970-71) at H. 139. Also had a new ?
(1972-73) at H. 130, I wonder if she is kin of
? 1229 [moved -> H. 506 in May 87] and her daughter ? 1384,
or ?/1677 who was there [H. 130] at Halloween.
Stopped raining while we trap - checked but it started
again after breakfast and continued off and on
all morning. So we decided not to map any
more houses on School Hill for the moment.
