Meeting up with a Wildlife Bioligist studying mammals.

[Kit Fox]

I befriended a wildlife bioligist studying mammals here in the desert. He studies a mile long live-trap line that he checks every few hours. We turned the trip into a field trip for my kids. They got to help him check his traps, and look at ten or eleven Kangaroo Rats. His goal is a rare squirrel called the Mojave Ground Squirell (No relation to common Ground Squirrels). He caught a Mojave Green the night before, and saved it to show my kids.

Nice shots KitFox -It took me a minute to figure out what the second pic was.. I bet the kids had a ball on the trip. Looks like there's plenty of food for them rattlers.
