Well this weekend I went with my Zoology class to Boyd Deep Canyon to go small mammal trapping, and it was pretty fun. First though we stopped in Palm Desert to see the Living Desert Wildlife Park that featured native Californian desert animals as well as some African Desert Animals. Then we finally made our way to the camp site.

In the evening we set up the traps, went to dinner then came back and checked them at night. We got around 2 kangaroo rats and some other various pocket mice, kept each species in a different hampster type cage, then re-set the traps for the night. We checked them again in the morning and got a few more.

I had a really great time and got closer to people in my class, the crazy bunch.

If you have any questions about the trip feel free to ask!
