5 June 79 p3.
7
looked like "carpenter ants"
In evening, a "flock" of bats came
wheeling over our heads, beginning at 8:15
and continuing intermittently until dark
(or after?) looked like Myotis. Also
a smaller bat (Pipistrellus?) and a
larger bat (? Eumops?). Probably could have
caught some if we had not strung across
the road.
27 June 1979 Checked traps at 7 am,
picked up all traps by 11 am. Kept all
cought: Peromyscus maniculatus (#80,81,82,83,
84,85,86) which was total catch!
7/120 = 4 with Quick Oats 3 with Horse
Oats. On line along road going uphill: 0/40
going downhill: 5/40 perpendicular: 2/40.
Not very productive! Watched a BT Jackrabbit
feeding on hill across canyon from trapline.
Checked a small cave for bats, found
none and no real evidence, but
cave narrowed into a chimney.
Packed up and left about 12:30. Saw
Cnemidophorus tigris along
road about 2 miles E of camp, where
Pumas were getting scarcer and
continuing sporadically to highway.
Jackrabbits became common (5-6)
once we had left Puma Sanipes.
