Resoleto, Jaurucan, Paraguay
29 Nov yet lots of bat activity. The roast onto path,
which has been producing 6-7 clapping a
day, suddenly started producing 40-50 a
day or two ago. This evening several of the
bats flying around the house looked like
vespertilioids rather than the more common
light straight flying molossids. All bats
tattooed & released.
30 Nov Luis S. Iobati, Luzre, Dept. Cordillera, Paraguay.
This time we're camped on the east side of the
road (north last time) by a river (1/2-1 m deep,
4-5 m across, swift). Heavily grazed grassy
field with an also grazed swamp & then
co-jingly riparian vegetation. The soil in
this place is [illegible] clay. There are some sandy
areas which support a low second growth (6 ft),
very dense, mostly Prosopis. Took around
I set very little sign of mice & no obvious places
to set nets. Weather is threatening - heavy clouds,
thunder & lightning. Hot afternoon temp with
sun shining was 95OF. Windy. Even complete
overcast, temp 75, breezy, with some rain.
The main storm seems to have missed. Set out
30 snap traps (18 in swamp, 12 in sandy 2nd
growth), & 19 Sherman's (all in swamp) borrowed
from Bernie. Set up 2 nets over grassy field of
border. 8:30 - caught one goatacker & 1 vampire.
