We had a few sites set up last night from 8pm until 2am. my site had 3 mist nets. two of them about 20 feet tall and 30 feet wide and then one of them was half that height. all were set up over or beside a stream. we caught a flying squirrel right off the bat, a large beetle, 3 big moths, and a little brown bat (in the pic). we checked for captures every 15 minutes so there was a lot of time to read. i started to learn how to play sudoku. i have a box in my car that serves as a small library: field ID books for mammals, fish, birds, entomology, a compilation of gierach essays, a david ames classic, a book called "good flies", a friend here loaned me a sudoku book... i have all, all, of my fly tying materials and tools (as well as actual fishing equipment) for off-site down time during the day.
