5 June 1980. Very windy last night. 1/2 moon.
Picked up traps set yesterday, caught:

7 Peromyscus maniculatus not kept
5 Peromyscus eremicus #307, 310

1 Perognathus sp. #312
Kept 1 of each species I had 2 or more of,
released the rest, success 18/140 12.9%
Spent most of the day stuffing these specimens
in the tent. Another windy day, but otherwise
beautiful. Late in the afternoon around 5 pm,
helped Margaret with a vegetation transect,
gave up at 7:30 when it got too cold & the
necessity of dinner was impending.
A cool, windy night. Saw one lone bat
(Myotis?) struggling against the wind.
6 June 1980 Finished the vegetation transect
this morning, Margaret's "Belted Transect No. 5"
Then packed up and proceeded along Tites Canyon Road. Stopped at Titanothere Canyon
to collect a Perotewsus, stopped at top
of "Red Pass" before road descends to Leadfield,
saw Black-chinned Sparrows there. Lunched
at Leadfield. Stopped at "Entering Titas Canyon"
to collect Marmotidae and at Clare Spring
