17 km E of Jagueby rd, Dept Central,
Paraguay. This is the area trapped.
13 Aug Jumbo June 17. Went back to Koford. Set
32 snaptraps in low & forest brush (15-20
ft high, some clear area beneath), on 5th rd
20 traps in grassland on N of rd. Guinea
pig sign everywhere. Saw fox tracks,
heard a fox (a coughing, whistling
sound # Koford imitated & the fox
answered the imitation) & Koford
saw fox. Ran traps at 7:10, nothing.
Pecked them 3:30 PM, caught 2 Onczymps (#305 & 306), #1 Phileander (#307), all in
Koford's traps. 2 of the traps in the grass were
spring but no mice. Koford also had a few
spring trap. Night was warm (~65-70),
clear & w/ a wind coming up in early
morning.
14th July
20 km E of Jagueby rd, Dept Central, Paraguay
after setting traps we drove to bridge over
the Salado river at the N end of the
lake (R. Salado???). Saw 5-6 large, narrow-wing
bats flying near bridge (they seemed to
come from under it, flew around a point &
disappear). We set up one net & at
7:30 AM so we caught a small Noctilio (#308).
