    Great report Venkat. Even though I’m locked away in Australia with limited familiarity of your sp., I very much enjoyed the notes and photos. Enthused to hear the thermal worked well with small rodents too.

      Isaac – thanks, the thermal scope really is a game changer with the small mammals IMO. Would love to try it out in Australia one day…

      Thanks, Paul. Even I still have a long list of places to explore in Socal… Also, nice work on the San Bernardino Flying Squirrel – I’ve seen Humboldt’s FS at a few sites further north in CA but have always been intrigued by that southernmost population.
