G.K. Pearson 1969 July 20, 1969. 10 km S. Yungas, 8000ft, Dest in Peru. Left bright and early this morning for the Cañete valley, on our way up to Yungas or thereabouts. Stuffed bin male to look up on fruit, and in Cañete for other shopping. Lots of Sunday market activity in Cañete. I wish we could have spent more time there. The drive up the irrigated valley was lovely -- as you could see runs on the edges of the valley in many places. Turned north on the road to Yungas and the valley got more and more narrow, gradually working up through cactus scrub into some non-irrigated brush. We slept by the road at stream level and put out traps. I have my traps (36 large fold, Shaws, 7 snaps) closest around camp -- in essentially 3 parallel lines paralleling the creek. Saw bats above us at dusk (little ones) but didn't have to set up for them. This AM we picked up a fox skull from a BOR just a little south of San Antonio. The fox was on the side of the road & a paw had been cut off, and there were human tracks around it. Saw lots of new birds on the drive today -- parakeets (black), 2 sparrows, cordoba (cn4), and a Torrent duck.
