Last day of the week and we had two lizards, both from Dry Bay, one was an anolis (Anolis carolinensis) and the other was a ground skink (Scincella lateralis). Neither had ticks. We had a few frogs, southern leopard (Rana utricularia), pickerel (Rana palustris) and a southern toad (Bufo terrestris). Last but not least the mammals. We did not catch anything at Four Mile but we did get 2 recaptured cotton mice (Peromyscus gossypinus) and 1 deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) at Long Tin and 2 cotton mice and an opossum at Dry Bay. This was the first medium mammal I processed myself. It was really cool to actually handle it. He had 3 dog ticks on his ears, but no deer ticks.
