Collect pitfall traps this morning. And turned out to be a wildlife morn! Saw wild dog running around by station while driving up to field sites. Two big waterbuck bums as they run into bush. Giraffes (baby too! though already taller than me…) hanging out with zebras. Drive back: awed by ostriches running across road.

Field assistant’s sister runs women’s co-op makes Kenyan items, picked up a few things to take home.

Process samples. Take contents of pitfall traps (=mass of insects and water) and strain so have ball of insects, and then pick through the ‘desirables.’

After shower hear noises, sounds like barking. At dinner compare notes and conclude jackals are riled up about something.
