Journal 8 September 1969. Pampa Caleras, Dpto. Ayacuchos, Peru. the 3 of us tramped slopes in area and flushed one, which flopped and said 200 yds. downslope and landed in ditch at bottom. We were unable to flush it again. We continued on down thru roads to area of supposed Inca works, Incahuasi, where there were stone walls, and woto in mule bottom. This about 1 mile from Sanctis. We set traps. I put 30 snap traps near rock walls, boulders, and bunch grass (rare brush) on S. slope. Ray searched tall grass for Nuthatches but saw none. We saw 6 Thiseone at one site. M. saw a bird in mule pond, & I shot it (spec.). Cold cleared night. I saw one djard today and M&L collected one. [Incahuasi] 9 September 1969. Frosty morning. Much calling of Thiseone at dawn, and some at night, but heard no tinamous. My traps held 6 Phyllostis pictus, 1 P. bolivianus. M&L took 2 of latter, 8 pictus. I shot a hummingbird (spec.) on boulder among thick grass. Near stream in fine saw spots, I saw apparent treader of small mouse (P. sublimine?). We saw a P. Boliv- ianus run to rock wall about 8 am, but 40 live traps set for about 3 hrs. this - after took none. We put up specimen, then drove 4 mile farther on road (seita about 30 km.), to wien area mostly low tala. Searched, but found no tinamous there. Then returned to tala zone where we had seen Tinamotis, but 3 of us search- ing about 2 hours found none. Then back to headquarters, talked w/ personnel, and on 2 miles to summit, then down slightly 3 mi. to rough rock and brush canyon, where we set traps. I set 80 snap traps in rocks near brush. Overcast afternoon, warmer than yesterday, but wind came up about 7 p.m. and continued as into night. 10 September 1969. Frostier morning. Checked traps. I had 1 Nutomyz, 1 Phyllostis bol- ivianus, 5 Phyllostis darwini. M&L put up some of these. We reset traps; I set 30 snaps. We were mystified by 10 x 3 mm. droppings scattered on trails.
