Sunday morning I awoke a little before 0700 and looked out the window to see squirrel #14 caught in the Havahart trap. I drove the little bugger to Squirrel Release Area (SRA) Baker to start his new life. There was insufficient time to determine the squirrel's name.
Note that the CRSRP is now using two new SRAs because noted local biologist S. Studebaker has suggested that SRA Alpha is probably at or exceeding its carrying capacity.
Upon returning home, I reset the trap. Within the hour, squirrel #15, "Donaldo", had been apprehended. Donaldo was transported to SRA Charlie where, it is assumed, he is now residing.
Current activity appears to be low, but like Mount Redoubt, things can ramp up at any time.
