Burrow occupancy was estimated using ground-based methods. We used 25 quadrants of 20 m x 20 m randomly selected. Each corner was marked with wooden stakes and locations recorded with GPS. We separated the quadrats in three categories ,based on burrow density. Burrows were monitored in April, May, and June 2016, and June 2017, and occupancy was estimated using toothpicks placed at the entrance of the burrows. We monitored 1,342 burrows with toothpicks.
