AK Pearson 1969 3. 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.. July 2, 1969 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.
