LIDICKON 1969 July 28 cont. Skinned 2 more hats after dinner. The Bill & I left ~ 20:15 to check the nets. He had checked 3 more about 5-min further down the track. This makes a total of 8 nets including one night in the jungle and they remain cleaned flat. The nets contained only 1 macaw + 2 birds, a small kingfisher & a small dead owl/kite. In the net in the jungle, a lizard was creeping on it & we caught the bird (no. 3081). We were back at to bed by 21:30. Aug 29 Up at 06:15. Checked 4 trap lines to E. Caught nothing. P: used up traps #s 1+3 for re-setting. Bill went to nets. Only 1 bird this morning, a Roseatrus (no. 3083). After breakfast I went down to check my traps at 1540 & 1620 ft. Caught nothing but a lizard & large spiny (no. 3084). Redid all on lawn few far & broad on biscuit. Took camera down so took a few photos: 1) view w/ Yasuri's lawn 2) looking down from above trap site (1540 ft) 3) upper trap site (1620 ft.) 4) looking up trail (~ 1700 ft.) 5) from garden on top looking NW I also faked up the major traps set at ~ 1800. It still had fruit after 3 nights, but did not look handy. Back on top by 10:30. Had "doctor boy" just bandage on my finger which had flared up from a bee bite some
