Miss Tobatiy rd Dept Cordillera Paraguay
from the cliffs (50' at least). Poletus
denit in general seems low. I suspect
that the Meadows are frequentlly
burned to encourage the growth of
a grass which we see being harvested,
the don't know why.
There were
burned sticks to attest to some burning
but most of the fields were covered with
new growth & of this grass it would
not show obvious sign of burning. If it
is the case that they are burned, then it
there is an a possible reason why rodent
denit is so low.
Generally the birds are dull. Lots of
turdules & sparrows. Flock of a long-tailed
flycatcher coming thru. Few raptors,
mostly caracara, but I did see 1 or 2 hawks.
The greys they met in the first day saw
monkeys, & I can fox sign. Probably
every hunting.
