15 Sept. 2015 – Rodents rather than civets

Sergio and I set out bait for moitors early this morning, and were on-call for civets. We finished very quickly with the six monitor baits, with Srgio settingup the chicken guts while I cut some foliage with his parang to use as camoflage. We returned without receiving word from Meg about the civets, meaning that none were captured. Sergio and I heard gibbons again this morning, and on our way back to the boate showed me a tree with sun bear markings and a nest high up in the tree.

Later on in the day, I reset civet tracking equipment with Meg (and Doyo this time). Though there weren’t any civets this morning, they did find a tree shrew (similar to Scrat from “Ice Age) in one trap and a large rat in another. We finished in under an hour tonight. Time for a quick shower and dinner.
