First day of serious trapping! Caught a lot of kangaroo rats (Dipomys ordii), some grasshopper mice, a hispid pocket mouse, and another new species Merriam's pocket mouse (Perognathus merriami). A little rough for me since I had two escapes from rookie mistakes, and some close calls for a few others. Hopefully will get better at handling. Still, love the kangaroo rats, very cool animals.
