First Day of this week and like usual we lifted cover boards at Long Tin Tin. Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything, I think it still is too hot too early in the morning for lizards to be under the boards. Although it was only about 95° today, which is way better the 100. We then opened the pitfalls and were off to Home Depot to get some dowels to make shades for the buckets. The dowels were cut into four pieces and zip tied to a piece of burlap. This afternoon these shades are put in the ground directly over the buckets. Hopefully these help cool the buckets off enough so no more frogs or other animals that fall in die of heat and dehydration. After this we open the rest of the traps. The only thing we did different was in the Tomahawk traps we added a sardine to the cat food.
