Location: Mojo has moved! He is now 98.5 feet S from the dry wash where he was on day 34!
Activity Status: alert. Mojo was sitting in what appeared to be the "escape hole" of a Groundhog (Marmota monax) burrow. The burrow did not appear to be active but it could be that the Groundhog has not come out of hibernation yet!
Habitat: East facing slope on the western edge of the old field. The tree cover is a regnerating forest of young American Holly, Dogwood, Poplar and Red Maple and with a ground cover and understory of Greenbrier, Multiflora Rose, Blackberry, Blueberry, mixed grasses and mosses.
