26th July rd again at 3 to 5, Depto Caaguazu,
Paraguay.
26July ears & a very long tail. The rat came
from the wood, the gopher- like beast
from the field. Said is very sandy in
the field & I saw several holes that
were of those to general appearance
of pipider holes at Hastings the
caviomorphs? Some rain at night,
but this morning looks very threatening.
We drove awhile but left had to
turn back. Camped again at same
place. No trap, but did see 2 arm-
adillas - 1 large (body at least 24") &
me small (12"), both in the thickest
part of woods at night.
Birds for the trip (including stay at
Las Manantiales & near Tol (Madecin)
no organized list kept. We impressed
at how much more tropical the birds
were here than in the Chaco. There
were toucans & hummingers. I saw a
large guan. Colors were bright.
Unfortunately we were too busy to do
much identifying.
