This morning Alec Dizon and his two sons and two nieces helped check traps and process animals. The kids ranged in age from 5 to 10 years. Alec grew up on St. Croix and trapped a few mongoose when he was young but has never held a live animal. It is always fun to watch the faces of those holding an anesthetized mongoose for the first time. We captured four male mongoose and that same Siamese cat. As we were driving the Refuge road we came upon a female dog trotting down the road and about 100 meters further trap #12 with a mongoose in it was in the center of the road.
