Card Pearson 1969 Journal Puya Leon Tree 1 July one with a toe-to-heal stride of 10-11". Mymal saw marks where it scratched the ground. My tropa were a straight line through Tillandsia and down into a dry wash with mud bottom, 34 small Sherman, c. 35 ft apart, corn + oatmeal. 7 km east NE Pucasana, 200m. Another place we discovered this morning was east of Puya Leon on an extension of its road that goes up into the hills there. These hills are rocky, lichen-covered, w cactus (also lichen-covered). And, coming up among the rocks are big yellow lilies and seedlings of lots of other things. [A possible burrowing owl hole] under a rock. We haven't seen Tillandsia + cactus in the same place. I'd say now that cactus like rockier hills, Tillandsia the dirtier, sandier ones. 2 July My tropa at Divi SE Chilea were empty, but there were lots of new fox tracks on the area. It looked like a pair had come through, scratching at the mats of Tillandsia in places + sometimes turning it over. Then they followed part of my tagline + part of OPP's and headed off into the hills. Other tropa on this area and along the road got 4 Mus musculus and 1 Phyllotis which was up at a hilltop where there were rocks. There are irrigated fields within 1 mile of this place. Weather today same as always - fairly low fog, not cold or warm. We again went hunting for Tillandsia. This time north of Puya Leon and inland from the highway.
