than white. / Again to Neñoa; the anthropologists had
not returned. At their headquarters house, a man told
us it was 3 hours to Morocorie, another 1/2 to Obaca.
One anthropologist had told LC that this was late in a race
at summit of Cruero to Moccusine road. / We drove
via Santa Rosa and Orangero to Heda Obayani,
where LC made further inquiries about hummingbirds
above Cañero; many Ruya peruviana slope, but
none in bloom. Heda also included a large lake w.
coots & ducks (some coots on weed isletty appear north-
we saw 2 young coots near Neñoa). Then on to cliffs
near reef horcida, where LC searched in loft for
Oreotrochilus and found one, which she kept (now her 2 in
captivity). We drove on in dark to Calacalo and camp-
ed nearby.
18 July 1970. Frosty night. Sunday. To Lucio where we
ate, rested, cleaned up. I searched for grassland over suitable
for mouse live-trapping grid. Set 10 live traps in one
pasture, 5 in another. Saw 2 tinamoues and about 10
snipes. Put 5 steel traps near rodewalls for Galea.
20 July 1970. Continued search for live-trapping sites. Fin-
ally set 46 live traps in grid, + 8 mangiferaeant snare
in one pasture, 15 live traps in another. About
(180m?) Cueva
11 a.m., took a jav. Galea near rodewall; no other by
5 p.m. Set trap in a storehouse for a weasel, which previously
left a mound of bird feathers there. A few days ago, a man
working on house roof saw a weasel come out of chimney.
