5 July 1980 continued, p2.
Proceeded along road to a point 1.5 mi NE of
Strozzi Ranch that appears to be ecotonal
between sagebrush and Pinyon-Juniper.
Some scattered Pinyons and junipers, but mostly
sagebrush. Margaret did vegetation transects
here (#
).
Set 40 traps, Shermons baited with oats,
across washes and ridges, beginning at a large
juniper 1/2 way up ridge N of road, going down,
across wash, up a small ridge, down into
next canyon, then up a very brushy canyon.
Set traps in pairs, 20 meters apart. Set another
line of 40 traps, same bait and arrangement,
going down the wash. Set another line of
18 traps along ridge, beginning at start of
first line and continuing across talus slopes
to a rock outcrop Eastwards. Saw some Thomson's
sign in valley but did not set traps. Saw deer sign,
cow sign. No large animals seen. Set up a line of
six trout flies dangling from nylon leader
drawn between poles set across wash
in the # hope of catching bats. One bat,
a large one that appeared to be the same
kind I saw last night, checked out this
set up twice but did not bite.
Total 98 traps set here
