July 28 1835 pst Found the remains of 2 rats in
(cont.) 2 separate traps at House 37. One was
F1756-57 and the other was M1877-78. She
by me
was last captured at H.39 on 20 Dec 1988
weighing 181g and he was last captured
by Suzi de Mille & Sarah West at H.39 on
29 May 1988 weighing 283g. Evidently Suzi
and Sarah left a pair of traps open at
H.37 when they did a census for me from
29-31 May 1988. Decided to keep the skulls
since they are both of known age: F1756-57
was born in April '88 (1st caft. 12 May 88 - 78g) --
Cat# PK 194; M1877-78 was probably born in late
May '88 (1st caft. 29 June 88 - 154g - Cat# PK 195.
1857 PST Hze 58B (in hollow Red Willow that crosses
creek at H.58A) is looking very active. Also found
another metal box Green marker (#2266) between
^ house
58 and 58A.
Always Willow in the creek bed at H65 has
collapsed into the cr. bed - impassable. The
drought (3 years now - Big Creek last flowed in Summer '86)
seems to be taking a heavy toll on
^ the flora along the creek although the rats find
does not seem to be adversely affected.
1919 PST found a new house at the base of
a large red willow in the middle of the
wide creek bed between House 74 & Hze 76.
Designating it as H.76A.
