Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center

25 Oct, 08 AM - 26 Oct, 02 AM

Small rodents will be trapped with Sherman Live Traps in the alluvial deposit and wash adjacent to the campsite inside the Research Center fence. Trapping also will be conducted on the rocky alluvial fan about 200 m east of the campsite. Traps will be baited with a mixture of peanut butter and oatmeal, and trap stations will be marked with wire rod flags, or with flagging attached to bushes or rocks. Traps will be set between 4 and 5 PM in the afternoon and checked in the evening and again the next morning. Representative specimens of each species will be held in plastic cages overnight, or for a few hours in the morning, for class observation and discussion. Following the morning discussion, all specimens will be released near their capture sites, and all traps and flagging will be retrieved.
