July 1, 1969
4 km ENE Pucunana, Dept. Lima
One of the Snap traps was sprung, but
nothing else. I got to help at the home since
there were several broken windows and we
couldn't lock it up. Swept out the house
and furniture around. Finally the boy came
around to fix the windows. I looked around
behind the house. The yard is arranged
as though someone had great plans for
irrigation and growing something, but it seems
abandoned. Also an abandoned chicken house
is back there. Little (almost none) sign of mice.
This afternoon we went south of
Chiclla to look again for the perfect Tulladzia.
Placed set traps. OP & I sat a line along
the highway where we could see lines of
mouse tracks. The mice seem to trap
around every rock that affords them any
protection, but you hardly ever find a hole.
We turned a number of largeish rocks over,
but never found a mouse..

Nothing in our traps along the road - altho
I suspect several of the traps failed to go off.
One of our collapsible Shermans in the Tulladzia
caught a Mus, which was tagged and released.
The other traps got 3 more Mus and one Phyllotis.
