A.R. Pearson 1949 Aug. 9, 1949 1 mi S. Bayside, Humboldt Co., Calif. Left Berkeley 6 AM with Marietta Voge. Stopped at one list house near Miranda, Humboldt Co., and found a Myotis lucifugus under a tire plate in the roof. Two more got away. Arrived at Eureka about 2:30 and spent almost 2 hours trying to find a good place to trap. He finally ended up in a fellow postman with a little clump of redwoods on it and set out all our snap traps -- Marietta 41 and me 77. At dusk we readied ourselves with our skighut -- got one shot at a big bat, and saw two others, but didn't get any. Ran our traps 10 PM. 10 PM 6 AM AKP 77 traps 4 microtus 2 Reithro Marietta 41 traps 3 Mic. 10 Mic 2 Reithro 1 Sorex 1 Mic. He only skinned the Sorex. Aug. 10, 1949 The owner of our meadow came to see me this morning and had great tales to tell of his trapping experiences in the Yukon territory -- 303 shrews in one week! He had a box set for them with 2 wooden blocks leading into it, and arrived at the above figure by counting the tails and shrews in the box each day. He caught them in the cabin. We went up to his sister's house where there was supposedly, a heavy infestation of bats, and got one Myotis from the attic. Also some plums from his orchard. Thence proceeded to a dirt road leading east out of Bayside which wound up through some redwoods,

Some of these traps we set out by an abandoned logging community in a deep canyon with lots of alders, big firs, and nettles. He looked in all the buildings for bats, but found none. They were pretty far gone - roof falling in, ferns growing in the middle of the floor, etc. Aug. 11, 1949 Saw no bats last evening. On his last night & this morning yielded: up the road 6 PM 10 PM 6 AM Mixed live + snap. Maietta - 15 Gourliegi 1 Pero. Me 1 Sorex pacificus not seen 6 Pero 3 Sorex pufi 1 Soustron 1 Sorex beattini 7 Pero 5 Sorex pacific 1 Zapus at the logging camp: Maietta (live traps) 3 Pero. Me (snaps) 1 Pero 4 S. pacific 1 Phacops He went down the road towards Bayaise for about 2-3 miles, to the Stevenson's place - Mr Stevenson had invited us yesterday to set traps in his Redwood creek if we wanted to. So about 8:30 we set all our snap traps there - all of them, then spent the morning skinning etc. On our way down the road we stopped at a bat house & missed capturing 1 lone Corynorhinus in the attic.

AK Pearson 1949 3 After skiing we next into Arcata for a few events, paw a spotted skunk wandering along the road on our way back. He was quite unconcerned about our interest in him, except for an occasional flout of his tail in our direction. We found a good spot further downstream on this road to camp - redwood, alders, little creek - and set out all 50+ of our live traps. A check on our snap traps at 6 PM brought in 1 Sorex pacificus each. August 12, 1949 2.3 mi E Bayside, Humboldt Co., Calif Traps along redwood stream yielded only 2 more Sorex pacificus each. Near camp we caught: Mainella: 2 Pero 2 Sorex pacificus Me: 4 Pero 4 Sorex pacifinus 1 Muridae? 1 Sorex turlupicus? He checked on the bait house again (4 1/4 mi from Bayside) and again missed a single Congymacris. More skiing before lunch & then we broke camp. Took route 299 for a little way, then through Kobel to another campsite - near Maple Creek. There are maples here, & alders & some redwood & firs. Also more grass so it should be interesting trapping. While we were picking up our traps along the very steep redwood creek this AM I saw a Zapus under a raspberry brush about 2 yards from the stream. Very little grass. He was quite unexcited about me. I

pounced but he got away under the thorns. Tonight a coon has been settng off my traps under a cement bridge. The traps are on a little foot-wide cement ledge with mouse + shrew droppings. He checked a little while ago & there were the coons big wet footprints. Aug. 13, 1949 Maple Creek, Humboldt Co., Calif. Moriella: 9 Pers /100 mixed traps /S. pacificus (?) Dne: 8 Pers. 65 snaps 3. Sons Pacificus (?) 1 Zapus 1 Miroles oregoni (?) After much debate about the microtine we have decided it is probably an M. Oregoni. It was a pregnant ?, but the feature that bothered us was that it had 6 plantar tubercles instead of the expected 5 - the sixth was quite small but definite - as in some of the M. Californicus. One thing we are impressed with among the Sons Pacificus is that of all the ?? we have caught, none have been pregnant, but practically all have lots of mammary tissue. Moriella has caught 2 Peropecos in her snap traps during the day time. About noon (in the morning he strained) we set the other 50+ live traps out upstream, stopping for a swim & sunbath on the way back

Snaps 65t live traps 50t 6 Pero 1 S. pacificus, 1 S. trumbidgi 2 Zapus 1 Zapus 1 S. pacificus 14 Pero. 1 S. pacificus Got several more Zapus - all males - but no more oregoni . Started in a.m., left Draple Creek about noon. Spent a lot of time trying to locate another camping place, + after numerous unsuccessful turns we turned off of 101 S. of Eureka on the road to Falk. This road ends at what used to be an active saw mill but it has not been operating since 1937 and the road is dotted with lovely abandoned log houses. He reached several without success. Set out only our snap traps along the creek by the saw mill. Heard horned owl, saw a squirrel in a tree (striking orange on belly - could it have been a flying squirrel?) and heard wood rats at night. No bats seen until in the morning, when 3 were seen flying while it was already quite light out. Aug. 15, 1949 Elk River, Falk, Humboldt Co., Calif. about 5 snaps each: Me: 10 Pero 2 stolen traps 5 Pero 2 S. pacificus Märzetta: 1 S. hendrixi 1 S. trumbidgi 1 Micrston calif.

A.K. Pearson 1949-50 Marella's S. hendrixii was in much the same sort of set as mine - near rocks on the edge of the creek. There about 8:15 PM. Dec. 6, 1949 5 mi N. Novato, San Antonio Creek, Marin Co., Calif. Left Berkeley yesterday at 1 PM with Marella Voge & Mary Koford. Set out a total of 362 traps, alternating live & snap traps in Mary's & my line so that we could compare the catch. Mary caught an equal number of animals in the snap & line traps (4 in each), but I got 11 in snaps & only 6 in the line traps. Our total catch was 32 animals: 4 Sorex 8 Mus 13 Rithro (3-4 raviventris) (9-10 megalotis) 7 Micrurus We have decided it is easier & faster to use line traps in Salicornia since you don't have to clear so much area for them. Apparently the (live vs snap) catch is fairly similar. Of the 4 shrews taken, 2 were in snaps & 2 in line traps. The line traps are also easier & faster to pick up. Dull now, fairly clear, considerable dew. April 15, 1950. 3/4 mi E just N of Middle Fork American River, Eldorado Co., Calif. Left Berkeley 8:30 AM with Marella Voge, Mary Koford, & 4 boats. Arrived at Auburn near 11 o'clock & found a capsula ~

R. Pearson 1950 the South fork of the America River. It is on forested land owned by the Portland Cement Co., but we got permission to stay from the two men who are working here now at demolishing the old buildings. They showed us some cracks in the building where bats were roosting and we extracted 3 Myotis yumanai. There were also Ictidomys in the cracks. Set out 42 traps -- some along a little stream on the north- sloping hill by camp and some in more open country under isolated bruster and in holes along the road. He set one steel trap in a culvert. April 16, 1950 My 42 traps produced 11 Perognathus truei and one hermit thrush. Also caught a wood rat in the culvert. He skinned in the morning (Mary had a Microtus but other than that there were only more Perognathus truei). Set out another line along the river, many in moss-covered rocks on the hillside lining the river. 50 t traps. After lunch we drove to the hill on the other side of the river, where Mainella & Mary set out some traps in the low chaparral that covers that slope. Subsequently looked for bats in the hollow cement support at the ends of an obsolete railroad bridge. Found one room with many droppings, likely a night-roosting place. More skinning after supper -- one Perognathus maniculatus which was caught in the wood pile at the head of our sleeping bags, and otherwise just more Perognathus (truei?). Checked on night

roosting places, (see Mary's notes) and picked up one yuma area in the bridge he found this afternoon. Also one yuma in house near crusher. None in tunnels. April 17, 1950 Mary's & Marilts' trips had one more of the same species Peropterus, in spite of the difference in habitat. My lie along the river held 15 Pero. (all true?). In the morning he drove east on the Forest Hill Rd. looking for bats. Found one good Tunnel - an old mine (see Mary's notes). In the afternoon Marilts + Carol + I went to Auburn to ask about bats and get some supplies. Left our names with the Biology professor at Placer College and found our high school boy who claimed he saw a few bats near a small cane a few miles north of Auburn on route 40. At dusk we went up to the crusher to watch the bats come out, with Mary's 410 + my slingshot. Saw many flying, the noisiest being Eptesicus that were night-roosting in a fairly big crack in the crusher. After no success at shooting one outside we shot into the crack and got both Eptesicus and Tadarida. More skinning upon our return to camp. April 18, 1950 Made a lost trip t the crusher and extracted a few more yuma's + 2 Tadarida while Mary loaded and released. Then we went up the road towards Placerville to look for a directors cane we heard about yesterday. The cane opens at the base of a big oak tree

H Pearson 1950 9 about 1/2 mi past the big quarry operated by the Pacific Portland Cement Co. from the quarry on the road is roughly like this: quarry little dam bigger than cave path -> to Placeriella The cave consisted of two fairly large chambers with lots of nooks & crannies suitable for bats although the chambers themselves were somewhat light for bats. Then came a wild goose chase looking for the small cave N on route 40. We finally found the mentioned cave, which was small & had for droppings in it, but wasn't suitable for bats -- quite lite. Lunched + home by 5:30 May 4, 1950 Left at noon with OP for Petaluma marshes. Set out a few line traps there near the hunt club (38 for me, 50 for OP) and drove over to Guerne. Arrived at Sidki's barn about 4 o'clock and found the bats mainly in two rather diffuse clusters near the ridgepole in the attic. We hung up nets & plugged all the holes we could find and think that only one Corynorhinus escaped us. We netted 73, all females, x moth pregnant. We

picked out 10 to operate on, and in 6 of those we measured the bump in the uterus and sewed them up and released them. The other 4 we left - 2 were not pregnant, 1 was resorbing, & the last had a broken wing. Drove back to Petaluma for dinner & checked our traps - one Sore & a mus in mine. In the morning my traps held 3 more Sore & 3 more mus. No Microtus in either OP's or my line! Home by 10AM. June 1, 1950 Manhattan Miss, Napa Co., Caly Left Berkeley with Bernie Kinsey about 8:30 this evening and arrived at Knoxville about 11 PM. Along the way we saw lots of night life - one Dipodomys scampered across the road in front of us, 2 mice, lots of deer, several rabbits, plus cats, etc. In the Knoxville tunnel was one night-roosting Conyothemis banded. We killed him immediately & put[illegible] his stomach contents in alcohol. June 2, 1950 In the morning we started searching all the Manhattan tunnels for the large nursery colony here a few weeks ago. In the Abyss cave where the colony had been were one awake O' Cony, one torpid ?. Big pile of grains on floor of the cave, but no further bit seen. In another cave near the 20-house hill we picked up another single torpid female Cony. Notti; in OP tunnel, one awake O' Cony in Mary's tunnel on the eastern hill of Manhattan Miss, & another torpid O' in Catacombs tunnel. None in Mangante hill or any of the other tunnels. He looked in

AK Pearson 1950 every tunnel we knew of in the area but found no more bats. About 1144 we drove up to the Reid Mine where there was one awake Cory that we didn't collect. Then on to Bethu Springs. About 3 we landed in the kitchen attic & saw 2 Cory, both awake. He didn't get either of them. Colony found in rear of upper tunnel. We weighed, banded, etc, 19 babies. There were 4-5 pregnant ff. And 4+ females who were neither lactating or pregnant. When we finished the banding we had only 2 babies extra, I had released 3 lactating females, so perhaps we missed a baby somewhere in the tunnel. Most of the babies we fastened out the mother before we released her but the 2 extra plus one other baby who wouldn't hold on properly we put up on the wall & watched. It wasn't long before the mothers came & got them. First they would circle around, finally land and make a clicking sound while nuzzling the baby. The baby who wouldn't hold on was covered by her mother & nuzzled, but when the mother took off the baby still clung to the wall. The mother wheeled right around and landed on top of the baby again and the next take - off the baby clung properly. One apparently full-term baby was really a new-born. It was born in the cage and when we were handling the mother she still had not completely expelled the placenta. The baby was

Pearson 1958 had become separated in the cage, we put them all together in one cage hoping they would match up but none did. Castrated 3 young males (about 7 gm weight). One young castrate flew - perhaps his first flight - he was 39 mm forearm, wt. 7.5 gm. We also took notes on when eyes are open & when ears are up. Again noticed that the older young can make adult noises (about 6 grams). Another thing we noticed was the special attention mothers gave to the baby bats that had fluttered to the ground. One anxious mother who had landed on our cage holding the baby bats, repeatedly flew down to a young who was making its way across the floor. It apparently was not hers - the baby paid no interest in her, and after she sniffed at him she didn't seem to try to pick it up. May took the babies up to the attic & noticed more of the same behavior - when a baby would flutter to the floor the mother seemed to come after it rapidly. Temp. 52° in attic. Looked for the Bolivia colony. Found the tunnel, which seemed fairly cold, but no bats there 8 PM. One of the Inverness bats was just beginning to flutterate when we spotted her & put her in a separate cage for observation. She kept her

tail well curved around her so that we couldn't see very well what was happening, but 1/2 hr later the baby was out and hanging onto her nipple, the placenta was just being expelled. June 8, 1950 Aetna Mines, Napa Co., Calif. Left Berkeley about noon with Mary Kapfer & children, Bernice Riney, & Carol & Peter. Looked in the kitchen attic & there were three awake Cory there -- one banded on the right wing, one unbanded, & a third. Located the colony still in the upper tunnel, this time much closer to the entrance than on our last trips. Took the rest of the afternoon off for a swim in Pope Creek & a leisurely supper on the gravel beach. About 11:0 o'clock Bernice & I went back to the upper tunnel and netted the whole cluster of bats, hanging about 20 yards in, where it was this afternoon. None escaped, and there were no other bats in the tunnel at the time. Temp. was 62°, as previously. There were 5 adults in the cluster of 28 bats. Of the 19 babies we had banded a week ago, 5 had left, but there were 9 new babies (last week there were only 5 pregnant females). Our prize baby who was brown while we were banding last week was there again. Caught one male - 49-1237/8.

(K Pearson 1950 We were weighing & measuring at the tunnel mouth, turning the babies loose on the wall as we finished. The babies were somewhat scattered over the wall - some small groups, some singly. An occasional adult would flutter in and out again at the entrance, making short rapid squeaks as she flew. One mother who either had flown past us into the tunnel or was one of the 5 adults who had become separated from her baby made repeated visits to the wall in front of us. Many of the baby bats were squeaking, and she seemed to have difficulty finding her own. She would first alight near one group and then near another, then a third time she landed on a single baby. Each time she stayed on the wall quite briefly after searching in the particular group at hand. I had the impression that she wouldn't find her baby in those groups, although she never seemed interested in the several groups of liches to one side of the area where she kept landing. There was one baby squeaking about 1'2' up from the floor but fairly near (about 1'2' down) from the groups she was working over. I moved him up to the other groups, and the next time she lit she caught him and promptly flew off with him. The pattern on the wall was roughly:

Left yesterday now for Actna + Marblette Cory colonies. Stopped at Angwin + found one cloth of spiders in the innery. Next stopped at the kitchen attic where we found much activity. All the bats seemed to be awake, fluttering about at the dark end of the attic. Managed to catch about 10 of them, but know- that 3-4 escaped. Most were young females, although one was a banded young male, and and there were several adult females there too. He heard great squeaking around the entrance to the attic & by climbing under the ventilator motor could see swarms of Antrognus + Talcante crawling in the space between the roof & the ceiling of the room below. They must get in behind the chimney and crawl up to the roof. At Actna Drive, we missed a Cory in the lower left tunnel (probably flew into that super choker that's so hard to get into) and got one or another cory in the lower right.

I marked the spot where she hung and left her undisturbed. Proceeded to the tunnels at Lucerne. Both empty. The north tunnel has recently had either a fire or an explosion in it. There is fine black dust on ceilings & walls of the entire right branch of that tunnel. A terrible smell - south tunnel was drippy back in the right fork as well as near the entrance where the floor had visible puddles. The north tunnel was mainly drippy near the cave in far way back. Checked tunnels at 9 PM - no brats. AM temp outside = 45°; in north tunnel it was 52° about 15 feet in from mouth. We went back to the Sulphur Bank house and found our female unmoved since yesterday. Temperature near this bat was 79°. Came home through Acton Spring + picked up one headed ♀ (gray vagina) for some open survival experiments.

After dark we drove to the Maholita hines. Saw a Dipodomys (?), deer, + jack rabbits on the road. Nothing in the Knoxville tunnel at about 7 PM. After supper I looked in a few tunnels - Mangaitu (2 trapd ff), 20-house hole (one cave had 2 flying bats that escaped, another had 2 f, 1 m) and kept all the bats in the car until morning. The temp. got down to 44° F during the night. Clear, full moon. A survey of all tunnels in the morning brought in only 80s + 8 ff.

In all, collected 18 males & 4 females. The females were mostly scattered about in the passage, while the majority of the males were clustered in the warmer section of the largest room. Two of the females were unbanded, one young. About 2 banded adult ??. In Parish Cave at noon we collected the bats with the help of Brad Parish & a friend of his. They hung scattered over the ceiling in the largest part of the passage, and many were quite difficult to reach. It took us a long time to collect the bats, so many of them were awake before we were through banding. In all there were 81 ??, 35 ?? . There were very few young bats among the unbanded - about 2 young of each sex. Both in Subway & in Parish we found one male bat in very bad condition. The one in Subway we put on a ledge; we kept the one in Parish. He weighed 8.8 gms, although we both had the impression he felt very light. About 10 Eptesicus were in the crack near the crossroads in the south tunnel. No

"Pearson 1951 22 extracted 2 males to bring home with us. March 9, 1951 Shasta Lake, Shasta Co., Calif. Left about 4AM with Joe Gorman, Bill Hoodin & Bob Bailey. Arrived at Redding about 9AM & proceeded to look up a Mr Palmer, referred to us by Dr Willes of Palo. With Mr Palmer we drove out 299 to the dirt road leading in to the Squaw Creek camp that Joe was interested in for his salamanders. We only were able to drive in one or 2 miles before we ran into a snow storm and impassable roads. Mr. Palmer suggested that we could get to all the area that interested us by boating across Shasta reservoir & offered to lend us his boat and outboard motor. With much herring & hawing and waiting around for Palmer's son Bruce who was to accompany us, we finally got started about 4PM. The motor was not altogether reliable, however, so the trip across the lake took over an hour. We landed on a small creek flowing into the McCord branch of the reservoir, and thence started our climb up to Potter cave with provisions & sleeping bags. Potter is a limestone cave with a large opening and lots of flat camping space within the mouth of the cave. As we reached the cave the sun had

K Pearson 1951 23 already set and we saw a few bats flying around the entrance to the cave. They apparently had been roosting in cracks over the large mouth of the cave. Several flew into the cave, so we promptly followed them in. The cave shortly became quite warm & wet, & before going very far we came to a large drop which we couldn't negotiate. We could see a bat flying in the high-ceiled passageway but had no good chance to catch it. March 10, 1951 In AM we set out by boat for Baird cave, taking our lunch with us. The night temperature went down to freezing, and icicles formed beneath one of the drips near the cave mouth. About halfway up the steep hill to Baird cave Joe turned over a big rock & got his first Hydrostele. Don't know before we got to Baird. The cave has a 15' x 6 ft opening and then opens downward at an angle for 100 ft, when you come to a ladder & descend into a very large chamber with giant stalactites covering one side of the room. We found numerous bat droppings-- some scattered over the floor and others piled up in small areas in side chambers. Stoneman cave, a short distance across a gully east of Baird was visited by Bill & Bruce who claimed it looked good for bats but they found none in it. On the descent from Baird Joe turned up another

Hydranates. Proceeded to the beach where our boat was, and to our surprise saw bats flying, 3:30 on a sunny afternoon. One of the bats flew at me several times & I ran for the net & gun we had brought. The bat then flew- within 2 yards of me & landed on a rock on the beach. A Myotis. March 11, 1951 Another night at Potter, & in the evening we had several unsuccessful shots at bats apparently trying to enter the cave. I had about 50 musser-specials out along the stream below and up the mountain to the cave. 8 Peromyscus - 2 boylii, 2 maniculatus, & the rest truei. We managed to get the boat started for the other side of the lake about 9, but were forced to row all the way across. It was past noon by the time we had the boat out of the water & taken Bruce home again. About 2 PM we set out for Lowe, arrived at Subway at 6PM. There were 2 clusters of 2 moles & the other bats hung singly, well scattered through the south branch (none in north). Again one of ours found dead (#42-162390). Altogether there were 12 bats, 2 of which were F.F. Kept the dead one & 4 males. Neither I was given. No embalmed bats.

April 21, 1951 Southern California Left Berkeley about 9 AM with Dorothy Pikelke & the 4 children. Spent the night a little up the Canel valley under a full moon. Left morin' we picked up Lois Taylor & Carlson & got to the first house on the left on the road going up the Canel Valley. It is the old Flatto road. The caretaker accompanied us to the attic where a couple of Myotis thysanodes flew out of cracks about the eaves. He caught one - a late pregnant F with a single fetus. Next stop Halfass creek. 9 FF Coryphorinus in cluster at ridgepole, asleep & easily captured. Two quite torpid FF hung together in the side attic. All the females appeared to be well along in pregnancy. 9 were banded; 2 unbandad. April 26, 1951 Arrived at Borrego Spring and set out a line of about 20 traps. The desert looked very dry, little green on any of the plants. Two Peromyscus eremicus in the traps in an. The next night we spent on the Mojave desert, just north of Mojave.

Left early this am. to pick up frozen sea otter that washed up on Point Lobos. Watched sea lions for a hour or so at lunch, but could see no new pups. In mid-afternoon we visited the Malpaso Creek bat house. One cluster of Corynorhines at the ridgepole, and a single bat hung in the side attic. One or perhaps more escaped. One adult ?? was in the catch. 9 lactating, banded ??, and one female observed to be on April 22, was not lactating. One non- f (not lactating) was also present. The 10 young bats ranged from 3-23 days old. 7??; 3 ??. One of the lactating f was a 1-year-old. All the young 35mm foream (17 days old) and larger coeds fly. One young 34-- (16 days) "almost flew": June 7, 1951 1.3 mi S Diveras, Marin Co., Calif. Arrived at Golden's Bar about 3:30 PM, and as soon as we entered we could hear the bats.

Surprisingly, after seeing those with forea 35 - fly at Halfpass, this largest baby was unable to fly. 8 adults still prey. 7 of the 56 were non breeders. One ♀, non breeder, over 4 years old, had a funny white mottling on her wing membrane. He observed that the babies hang onto their mothers mostly through the nipple, as many flew with their bodies clinging only in this way. When a bat mother + baby were hanging from a walking along a beam he could see that the baby (a very young one) was hanging to its mother's nipple but its feet were on the beam and it seemed to be walking along with its mother.

on Coryphomys in the Old Bale Mill. Between 5 and 10 escaped. 7 were trashed in 1949. We trashed 11 new adults, 3 young ff and 5 young ss. One f was still preg., but the young ranged old, from 35-43, so there were no very young bats present in the catch. Six of the 18 adults were not lactating or pregnant! The caretaker told us the barn was sprayed about 5-6 weeks earlier against termites, and this may account for the high reproductive failure. Caretaker says the bats were there in large numbers at the time of the spraying. Two embalmed mummies found on floor. At Aetna Springs the others had no Coryphomys, but Antrozous with young were along the wall near the chimney, and Tadarida & Myotis (including rimature Myotis) were behind the chimney. We found the Cory colony in the upper tunnel at Aetna Mines, and we believe we caught them all, although one escaped without seeing her bad. There were: 22 adults, 20 young. of the adults: 1 was 1 yr old (of 9 possible) 3 were 2 yr old (of 5 seen in 195?) 18 were 3 yr old & older. The 2 non-breeders were in the 3yr+ older young group.

the 20- house hole. He were interested to see how tangled some of the young became in the cobwebs they ran into on the walls + ceiling. Probably a good reason why Cory avoids attics with many cobwebs, particularly for use as a nursery colony. June 18, 1951 Inverness, Inai Co., Caly. Left Berkeley at 4:30 PM. with children, OP, Jack Judy & Janet Anderson. First bat stop at an old brown-shipe house .5 miles on the road SE Inverness Park.

Left early am with Dr. Voge & children - arriving at Redding about noon. He took the road in to Squaw Creek but stopped when we reached the bridge over the Pit River. Found a fairly good capsite along the river's edge, within easy distance of a large grassy meadow (dry), forest of yellow pine, douglas fir, & some hardwoods. Put out about 52 traps which brought in 62 forest apices & one Pterogomus trice apiece. Aug. 11, 1951 After skinning the shrews we left for Flat Creek area. The Pit River had fallen over 2 feet from the time he arrived yesterday afternoon. Many fish jumping, & saw a few bats flying. Our first night on Flat Creek was spent a little south of Big Spring Capsoond. Put out 26 traps apiece, caught 3 chipmunks each. Maurette also caught 3 Peromyscus.

Took a dirt road toward the creek which led to an abandoned ranch and a fairly nice campsite along the stream. The trapping areas now varied - fences, old stream bottom with moist grassy places and dead willows, dry open grass and rock exposures. I caught nothing in my live, & Draiella caught 1 Peromimulus. I saw many bats flying over the stream in the evening - seemed to be feeding on the insects which were very numerous about 2 inches above the surface. Aug. 13, 1951 Drove home through Marion.

Pearson 1952 notoparota ornata Feb. 26- 82 km W. Puno, Dept. of Puno, Peru. Walking along road, heard 2 perdis, "chips" one chip following close on the other, but the roads come from about 100 yards apart. Finally located, up on the hill, a bird standing with head up - it was in the direction of the calls, although I did not see it give a call. Looked like a ? O? This bird stood very still for a while and then suddenly lowered its head and dashed to the right for the nearest clump of grass and squatted under it. Soon from the left came walking another perdiz who headed for the clump of grass in a leisurely manner. When it got to the grass clump where the first bird squatted, there was a skirmish, with the second bird being chased and then flying 10 yards where it landed at hill behind a grass clump. The original kept running, and passed within several yards of the grass clump but didn't stop. Soon he slowed down and a short while after I heard "chips" coming from his direction again. Feb. 27 From 10-12 watched the nest #1, checked first to see that bird was on it. Sat above it, saw no activity. Bird still there when I left. At 3:30 sat on hill to south of nest, about 50 yds away. Bird on nest. At 4:55 it

appeared on north side of nest, stood very still watchi; me. Feathers on top of head very flattened, neck pulled well in, it looked quite female-like. It took a few tet-tate steps, jerki; head backwards about 20-30 times. Neck stretched out, went offest, looked more male-y. Walked down the alley, watchi; me. The first batch of richer it put its head down and ran about 10 feet behind grass claps. Closely watched nest for next hour and half but bird did not return. Sun set at 5:35, a cold wind was blowing, although t° was only 44°. Dark at 6:20. About 4:15 a llama + a shepherder + puppy passed right over the nest, but the bird didn't flush. Some of the llamas stepped within inches of the nest, one ziped over it. The shepherders was in the rear and walked within a yard of the nest. Dec. 28. About 10:30 A.M. sighted a lone falker on green flats by river. Deeki; in a deevatory fashion, walki; about 12 steps between pecks at the ground. Soon headed up hill with more determination. Went some 150 yds. up hill, disappeared. Searched the area for nests, but could find none. It looked like a male.

"Feb. 29 Watched the hill across from caps from 8:30 - 9:30 AM but saw no birds. This afternoon went northwesterly, high in the hills. Heard one bird "piping" but in spite of the nearness of the call I couldn't see it. A little "piping" across the river after sundown although no birds could be seen. Wind started blowing a little before sundown. March 1 At 7 AM watched a large bird (? ?) feeding straight across from bus on the green flats. Som headed uphill got above phone wire, started racing off for the right. Raced about 40 yds. and there I could see another bird who darts into a bush a little to right. First bird didn't pursue, but went uphill more. Second bird fed on open green up hill, then disappeared at 7:30 AM. March 3 At 2:30 was watching from bus window on slope across from me, trying to locate some of the "pipers". Finally saw a bird about 20 yds. up hill, going from left to right. Twice it fast its head down and ran for a short way, but I couldn't see what it was chasing. Then as it ran right in lincoln field, I

saw another bird, head down and crowding, running to the left about 10 yds. down the hill from the first bird. This second bird certainly a male, came down into the green flat to feed but nervously kept looking about him. Suddenly from the right rushed in another male who made for the first male and after a short chase bill-to-bill, the first male took off with screeching. The second male & first male were of equal sings. The second male began to feed, and in a short while turned up his tail in a display. At that moment within the same field of my binoculars, a female came across the acacias (?) to join him. He would display whenever she got near him. Once she chased him bill-to-bill, but her usual reaction was to dash about a yard away from him. After about 15 minutes of this plus mostly feeding, the male made a 5 yd. run to the right. She followed him behind some grass and they were start of right for about half a minute, after which the male started at a rapid walk up the hill. [It also started raining hard at this time]. The female remained on the green flats for quite a while feeding, going almost to the edge of the river. Squatted for about 10 minutes, then began to feed again. Suddenly,

with no apparent cause, she flew, screaming to the iche at the edge of the green flats — no more than a 15 yd. flight. There she fed happily for a while and then started down the aslepisia (?) and turned up the first gulley on the right. We marked the place she disappeared and will look there tomorrow. March #5 Some ice and snow on the ground in the morning, but not enough for tracking. I sat up the hill behind “Insey” in a crowd and watched the green flats across the rino. Heard some piping when the sun first arrived on the hill (I sat from 6-7:30) but saw no birds. About 11:30 Papie and I went up to nest #1. He took a picture of the bird who was sitting on the nest, and I crept into the blind. As soon as Papie was out of sight some “piping” started about 100 yds. uphill from the nest, and was answered by piping from the nest. After some 15 minutes or more of this, in which the uphill piping moved about a bit, the piping stopped and before long I saw on the ridge above the nest, and about 40 yds. from the nest, a male bird walking uphill. When I ducked behind a grass clump, I changed position in the blind and he must have seen me for he came out with his head bobbing back &

forth and eyeing the bird. He walked quickly a little way down the hill & on the other side of the ridge. Soon appeared to regain confidence, pecking at food sporadically, and moved uphill again. He was watching the blind, and when he got high enough seemed disturbed by what he saw. I think he probably could see my feet from that curse. I'd climbed on a rock, and necks outstretched, watched the bird carefully for a while. Then off he hopped & walked rapidly down into the gully above the nest about 20 yds. I saw no more activity for about 5 minutes, so went down to the nest to see if there was still a bird on it. There was, and to me it looked like a female. The hill was long and curved, and she seemed to fill up the nest more than other birds in the same space. At the time I was looking at the nest, the bird up the gully started jigging again and he kept it up for quite a while as I walked away. No further activity seen. Other possibilities: 1) Two males on one nest 2) Another nest in vicinity P.S. Peggy is sceptical of my ability to tell what sex the one a nest was. March 26 Reports on nest #1: About 7 PM Peggy went up and found a bird on the nest. Squirted it with purple dye & left. At 8:30 Mary & Peggy went up to the nest and the bird was off it. She...

(seen first 6 ft. down gulley from nest) came back at 9:30 - and was a purple-dyed one. I set by the nest from 10 A.M on. At 10:50 A.M. the bird with purple (especially on its left side) left the nest, heading downhill more or less along the gulley. I saw her proper for more than 100 yrs. It had a crest conspicuous all the time and looked somewhat aggressive for a male - held its head high etc. At 11:30 I heard piping coming regularly from down the gulley. The bird who was piping seemed to be moving about somewhat. Piping stopped being regular about 11:50, became sporadic. I could see feathers covering the nest. About 12:10 I spied a lone female walking up-gulley, about 100 yds. below the nest. She walked to the nest; I saw it pick up the feathers covering the eggs and clicked onto the nest. This bird was also purple stained (left side especially), but looked more male like - strolling along with crest down, etc. March 7, 1952 . Report on nest #1 8-8 O.P. watched 6:20 - 8:15. Bird left nest at 7:45. AKP watched 8:15 ->. Saw purple bird come over ridge behind nest + a little down hill to the nest at 9:15. There was piping in the area from 9:10 - 9:15, and it

stopped when the bird got about 20 yds. from the nest. I didn't really see it make the sound, although it probably was the same bird I was watching. No more fipping after bird was on nest. MK came up at 10:30. At 11:15 the bird (female) walked uphill behind nest & down the gully. Last seen about 150 yds away. At 12:25 a bird appeared I probably came up the gully on bird side 1/4 couple yards below a little the nest in the gully. Piping down gully about 1:20. AKP looked at 1:30. Bird easily visible on nest in afternoon light. Could see it preen, turned about a little on the nest, mouth open I saw was directly on the bird 1x. Nothing else, no fipping -> 3:30. O.P. sat from 3:30 to dark. Bird left 4 o'clock. Piping not from nest for 5 minutes before bird left. Piping stopped soon after bird left nest. Bird fed about 200 yds down gully, same slope as the blind. At 5:35 came at [illegible] feet pace back to nest. March 8 at 7:40 bird left nest, walked to top of first ridge, flew 100 yd. across canyon and lit on lower part of slope in grass, preened for 10 minutes, then started feeding among grass clumps. Red color very conspicuous when left side toward me. Before and after bird left nest

there was piping from somewhere near nest to which the bird payed no attention. I watched it feeding within 50 yds. of where it landed until 8:30 when it disappeared into the brush in the bottom of the canyon. At about this time I heard a screech like that of a flying bird, but lasting several times as long. I didn't pick up my bird again until 9:20 when it returned to the nest. March 10, 1952. At about 10:30 A.M. I took the ♀ dummy Peggie had made up to nest #1. Arrived there about 10:45, bird already off nest. The eggs felt warm but not hot. I placed the dummy about 12 ft. uphill from the nest, where the bird on the nest could certainly see it. Returned to bird. Due to loss watching I don't know when bird arrived but it (red bird) was there by 11:30, sitting calmly on the nest. If there had been any reaction or piping I'm sure I would have seen it. About 3 P.M. I took the ♀ dummy across the river and placed it next to a clump of grass in the open green flats near the river. For about an hour afterward the children + I were at the river, so there was no activity about the bird.

As soon as we had crossed the road to the hills, however, some piping started. At first the piping was raucous, then it was softer "whit", then raucous again. When I located the piper he was coming down out of the ridge about 10 yds. to the N.E. of the dung. stopped piping. A Crest up, and it looked quite large in relation to dung. The bird walked within 2 ft. of the dung and stood still examining it for about 1 whole minute, then turned at least off to the right to feed, resumed piping. Soon I saw piper duck into grass and another bird appear out of the ridge about 10 ft. to the left of bird #1. I am convinced both these birds were Crests. The second bird ran to the place where the first bird had been, looked about briefly until he spotted the first bird, and then chased him hard in circles & meanly broke & forth until first bird flew screeching off to the right a short distance. Second bird then made his way back to the dung, pecking as he went, and walked up to within a few inches of the dung. Either the dung or some other thing (birds?) frightened him, at the second bird ran up the hill and to the left. As he crossed the meadows there came into view in the same field a pair of birds. The male of the pair was displaying frantically and being chased for his efforts. Gradually they worked their

way right towards the dung, and got a view y pace at about 20 yds (dung was on the other side of grass clump so only head was visible probably). The F of the pair looked startled & her necks started bobbing. The O stopped trying to display for a try while, but started to lead her up the hill. The female followed him up to listen could note 100 yds up the hill & there they fed & displayed for awhile longer. Soon saw the O dash from about a yard away, mount & tread on the female who was obscured by a bunch of grass. He made the usual strange movements of feathers, remained on top for all of a minute. When the F arose I got the impression that the O went up over her head but am not certain. Also got an impression that there was a note at the beginning of the copulation. At this time could hear 2 sets of flapping on flats about dung, but couldn't see either bird. Probably was same O's seen before. Watched the couple alone feet for a while, then thought I saw the O display and the female subsequently started chasing him. Heard a soft, long version of their flying screech as the male, headed down, tore through the grass. The female chased him with her head held up. The male would make a short dash, duck under some glass, double back on his tracks, but the F always

managed to find him again + continue the chase. The chase lasted about 5 minutes, when the P took off speeding towards the right, and landed across the gully. March 12. Went to nest # 1 at 11:20. No bird. Put dummy 7 20 ft. from nest, up ridge north of nest. (It was an improved dummy over that used the other day). At 11:50 piping started down the gully. Moved about quite a lot, may have been more than one bird. At 12 a bird on the second ridge north of blind fluted in front of an advance of sheep. Flew down into gully. Piping stopped briefly after the bird had flown, then resumed. Piping stopped again just before red bird appeared about a yard to left of nest. Must have come up the gully or on the slope below the blind. It saw the dummy, was a little nervous, jerking its neck and walking very slowly toward nest. Ruffled feathers, + sat on nest. Shortly after (maybe 5 minutes) the piping started again, and it sounded down the slope below the blind. Eventually I spotted the piper almost down to the main gully, but did not have time to watch it before it retreated at the approach of a Irish and dog. March 13 AKP to nest # 1 at 7:40 AM. Red bird on the nest. Piping on the same hill as the blind

as I approached. Stopped at my approach, but began again, down the slope from the blind, at 7:45. At one point heard 3 different pipers (only one near nest), none of which were the red bird. The red bird left the nest at 8:10, walked up the ridge but down gully, crossed over the second ridge to main gully where I lost it. Considerable piping in the next hour, but I couldn't locate any birds. Red bird sneaked into nest at 9:30. Saw her uphill from the nest about 2 yards away so I don't know from what direction she came. MK went to the nest at 10:45. The red bird left the nest at 11:00. She missed its return - somehow it sneaked into the nest by 1:00 without her seeing it. No piping. March 14 Went to nest #1 by 7:30 A.M. There was piping on the hill as I approached and soon after I was settled in the blind I could hear piping from up the gully, down the gully, and over several ridges as well as from the nest. About 7:50 a bird on the second ridge beyond nest took off screeching, but I couldn't place the trouble. At 7:55 the red bird left the nest, walked up the ridge beyond the nest, down the gully to the edge of the main gully. Then it stopped to preen and as it preened

I heard another flight + screeching from the second ridge beyond nest. I located three females, all within a few yards of each other. One which I took to be a female, was acting most belligerent. She climbed onto a rock and started screaming at the other two birds faced. The red bird at this point took a short flight with screeching across the gulley to his feeding grounds. Soon lost his try trying to watch the birds on the second ridge, also lost those birds. A little while later I heard sustained screeching from the big lode across the main gulley. Looking over, I located three ternors. One was a male fostering actively to a female, who started away at his advances. The other bird I didn't get any dope on. I didn't see a red on any of the, although they were fairly far away & I wouldn't be positive one wasn't red. I watched the ? (I think) wander away by herself for 10 minutes or so. Bird returned to nest at 9:35, screeched up gulley. March 15 Went to nest #1 at 8 A.M. There was flying down hill to left & bird as I approached. I thought the bird was off the nest. Looked

on all the surroundi slopes but saw nothj for the better part of an hour. Then spied a love bird (looked ?, with light underpart and no brown rump) down to the left of the blind, sitting up on a rock & preening. Finally she moved off the rock and started up hill towards the blind. Lost her in the long grass but shortly afterwards there was a screeching flight in the area and a bird landed about 20 yds from where I last saw the ?, in the gully. Soon lost the second bird [illegible] It was then about 9:30 so I started watching the nest carefully to catch the red bird coming back. To my surprise, at 9:36 a red bird got off the nest and worked down the gully but up over the ridge, and I lost him in the next gully. A little later there was a prolonged screeching near the bottom of the second gully and the red bird took off screeching & flew cross the main gully. As soon as it landed I ran up to it from a few yards away. The red bird immediately & frantically fluttered, and at the same time a second bird screeched & flew- from about the same place the red bird had flown from, this bird flying down to the left of where the red bird & the ? now were. Immediately the ? was distracted, and the red bird raced up the hill away from her. She tried to follow him,

piping, and once got close enough to make him run again, but never caught up with him. This I spent the next hour walking about piping, occasionally freezing, and trotting hurriedly to feed at something on the ground or to look about her. Toward the end of that time she crossed the main gully and came a little way up toward the nest. I left her there at 10:30, when Pigie started watching. Bird returned at 11:20. Pigie watched until about 12. Started raining about 1:30PM, and there was a stretch of no watching between 12 and 3 PM. I went up with all my waterproof clothes on at 3:15. I couldn't see very well because of the rain, but there were ferds piping all around at a bird on the nest. Heard constant piping coming from the ridge above the nest, answered by piping just a little beyond the ridge. Finally spotted a bird stretching out her wings and flapping them once or twice to get the rain off. I lost her for a brief while during which there was screeching and a flight over the first (not) ridge, but I couldn't really locate it. Next I saw her going up for the left along the top of the next ridge, and she placed herself behind a clump of grass and froze for well over half an hour. Piped

fairly regularly as she fanned, and was answered by a faper up the next ridge to the right. Finally spotted the uphill piper about 70-100 yds. above nest. For some reason this piper was not chased. The bird sat for quite a while on top of a rock watching the downhill bird and the PI. As Paige approached the bird at 4:30 the uphill faper retreated Uphill. At one time in the afternoon I thought I could locate, by hearing, 4 different pipers in the canyon. This plus the bird on the nest makes probably a minimum of 5 birds in the area. March 16 - Sat at nest from 4 PM on. Very little excitement. Bird (red) left nest at 4:35, furtively sneaking down gulley. About 4:15 there was a little piping, some from near the nest which sounded like the nest F, some from up the gulley. No more piping until 5:20, when there was a single pipe down the gulley. Another single pipe about 5:30. Bird came back at 5:45. five eggs, one on top, covered, quite warm. March 17 - At nest #1 at 8:20. No bird. A nothing seen or heard until after 9, when the nest F (sounded like her) gave a couple hoarse pipes somewhere near the nest. Bird returned within a few minutes of 9:30, although I didn't see the return. Back to nest at 3:84. Bird on nest,

no piping. He showed no restlessness until about 4:30, and after that he did considerable shifting of his head. Once stood up on the nest but sat down again without looking down. At 5:15, as the sun was setting on the nest, he left the nest, first pecking at the eggs. I thought the [illegible] was probably arranging feathers. He seemed very reluctant to leave, altho obviously hungry. He even took a peck or two from nest before he climbed off. I waited until he was out of sight & went to look at the nest. One egg, on top of the others, had a hole about 3 mm diameter in it & I saw motion inside. Two other eggs had pip-marks where the shell was cracking, and the other two I didn't get a good look at. The top egg was pretty much covered by the wind. Much wind from 4 PM on. No piping. Red bird went furtively & nervously down gully when he left nest. March 18 - Up at nest #1 at 7 AM. Bird on nest. Some piping down gully as I approached while but it stopped. Red bird got restless about 8, left the nest at 8:30? Went up the ridge, disappeared into second gully.

Could see no birds. At 10:30 the bird still was off nest. I got a little closer looking at the nest on the way down. Keeping as I approached nest. Top egg had slid over and was no longer on top. Hole a little bigger ( about 5mm diameter ). Others the same. Back at nest at 12:40. Red bird on nest. Rather restless on nest, fidgeting around it, preening neck & breast. At one time an egg, or a large part of one, popped out on the far side of red bird. He fidgeted it under him again. At 2 o'clock I saw a grey fuzzy thing fidget up in front of the red bird, who fidget several times at it before he got it below back again. Within a minute after that red bird leaned way out of the nest on the north side, picked up something gift the ground and worried it briefly before he let it drop again. Egg shell? or feather? Came down at 2:30, red bird still on nest. At nest again at 4:30 PM. Red bird on nest. Restless fidgeting under and around himself. At 5:15 either one or two birds started

calling close to nest. Red bird stood up, looked, + sat down again. As own disappeared from the nest he came further into the nest and pulled the feathers up around him. Several times during the watching I could see a chick poke its head out under the red birds chest. I left the block at 5:45, the sun well down. Some calling still but the red bird looks fixed for the night. March 19 A.M. At nest #1 at 7:20. Bird on nest. At down to left. At 8:20 one pip. 7:45 some piping, I started very close to nest, perhaps from nest. Very rapid - every 4 seconds for a while. Either that piper moved or another started in, but the piping moved away down the gulley. Piping stopped about 8:30. Bird on nest did some preening and looking. Occasionally would stand up and look under him. On one such occasion I could clearly see a young. At 10:20 one young climbed out on the edge of the nest and tumbled out of the north side. Soon others followed until all 5 were out at 10:30. Red bird sat on nest until 10:50. The young started feeding as soon as they were off the nest, also semi-exploring about the nest, but they stayed within 2 ft. of the nest. At 10:50 red bird

got off nest, headed down gully for several steps, going very slowly and watching all about him - especially the blint, it seemed to me. He sneaked behind the grass clumps, watch- ing from behind them and seemed to pay no attention to the chicks. Got about 1 1/2 yards down to left and made a loop back. This took at least 15 minutes. He occasionally pecked at the ground. Once he ruffled out his feathers and I saw his deposits - within a yard of the nest. Three of the chicks gathered at his feet, and he turned and set off down gully again. The last two chicks struggled well over 2 yds. behind the nest. There was little organization for the chicks sometimes preceded him a little or wandered around to the side. By 20 of 12 the procession had gotten about 9 ft. from the nest. Papa did another loop, sat in the bottom of the gully watching me and some sheep going by the head of the gully. At that point I left. Looked in the gully from 3-4 trying to locate the redbird but I couldn't find him. I looked at the nest & it has a ring of large droppings about it (about 12). The shells are all broken & mixed with feathers in the bottom of the nest.

Since the nest wasn't visible I had to go over & be sure the bird was on or off, which I did. At 10:40 bird was on the nest, also at 11:15 and at 11:50. At 12:50 bird was off. Nine eggs, covered with feathers, under a sage bush. Removed and opened one egg which was about a week from hatching. The bird returned at 3:15, seemed somewhat worried about my grass & sage - trimming job, but I thought it climbed on. Still couldn't see it very red. Next checked nest at 4:45, & bird was not there. Also, the eggs were uncovered. Paige looked at 7:30 P.M., however & the bird was on the nest again. OP Collected the bird at midnight.

A bird had returned to the nest at 12:35 (see O.P.P.) and was still sitting at 2 P.M. Over the nest how the bird frenet for a couple minutes, but spent a good deal of time reaching out of the nest to peck at something, frequently drawing an object in toward the nest and tucking it in. A few minutes before 3 P.M. the bird got off the nest and took a few steps South, which was also up-wind from the nest. There was a little low grass growing about a foot south of the nest which the bird pecked at. It would take a piece in its bill and throw it over either right or left shoulder. The bird did this about 100 times, also throwing both green and dried Pycnophyllus, which was about a yard west of the nest. Then the bird turned north + disappeared over the nest ridge. Inspected the nest - still 8 eggs - and most of the eggs were covered with the driest bits of grass. Bird came up the gulley below the nest at 4:25. Climbed onto nest (didn't see what happened to grass), head facing south. Restless, pecking at nest, stood on egg for a bit before it sat down. Gradually turned around until it faced north again. Interrupted by sirdine + dog. OPP took over at 5 P.M.

AK Pearson 1952 Tanimates (cont) March 28, 1952 - Went to nest #2 at 8:40 AM to relieve OP? No bird on nest since 7:30 at least. Bird returned, walking up the gulley below nest at 9:16. Climbed onto nest, part of wriggling its body, facing north. Started nest building right away, wriggled some more, gradually did a 180° turn, then turned about a little more until it faced SE. Nest building and an occasional preen for 20-25 min. Then the bird folded in its head until it could hardly be seen as a distinct hump on the flat rock-like body, and seemed to sleep for about an hour. At 11 A.M. two sheep "maaa"ed down the valley about 300yds, and the bird sat up and began to watch them, also resumed nest building although not so intensively as when it first came back to the nest. I saw it put some back feathers into the nest. Also tried to lean way out of the nest to reach some grass bits around the nest. Some were too far for it to reach, & at 11:40 the bird got off the nest, picked up the grass bits, flung them at the nest, and climbed back on. Not much more until 12:15 when CIC+MK came by. March 29, 1952 - Went to nest #2 at 2 P.M. Bird dozing on nest. From 2:20 to 2:40 bird built nest, preened. Several times pulled feather from its back and tucked it into the nest.

Some ducke back into their holes backward, most dive in forwards. Easily startled. Saw one startled by a lizard moving about a foot away, but the tuco reacted quickly and appeared unconcerned about the lizard after that. No hawk flew overhead, one tucos gave a bubble and ducked out of sight. Other tucos also ducked. No response to sea gull overhead. By 9 A.M. things quieting down, fewer tucos out. On Payne's Census Area I did some collecting, and saw small tuco, some inside hucos that belonged to a lactating female collected earlier. They did not come out of the holes very far, but cautiously poke their heads up just far enough to see the hunter. They did much bubbling, both while they watched and under- ground. I shot one, and I believe there are still two more. I did not see them eat.

Carl Pearson Journal 6 June 1969 Quito Ecuador Quito We arrived a little after 7:30 am on an overcast but warmish day. The mountains and fields around the city are green; Fernando says this is the tail end of the local rainy season. Fernando arranged for us to stay in a hotel called Residence Florida on a few blocks from his own house, for $4 a day per person, with meals. After leaving our stuff, we drove (or rather, Fernando drove us) out Avenida John F. Kennedy north to la Mitad del Mundo, the grotesque monument on the equator. The road until right near there was pretty well lined with houses, but beyond that it is less populated. North of Quito is more arid, and there are is a scattering of bushes over the uncultivated places and often agave along the road. Whenever there is agave we look for Patagona zegas because it likes the large blossoms, and we saw one near the equator monument. While driving through this region we saw Zonotrichia capensis, sared laves, ground loves, Catameria, black streamer-tail, many sparrows hawks. This country continued for awhile up the mountain behind the Mitad. We drove up to the rim of the old crater of Pululahua. Pululahua The slopes of the crater had a fairly lush

Standing at the rim we saw some hummers; a tonager with blue back, red on wings + face; a grosbeak with yellow breast; a dark slaty thrush with bright orange-yellow beak + yellow? around eye + yellow legs; 3 turkey vultures; a Butao; martens; all dark flowers piercers. Hacienda La Pampa in Pomasqui After the crate we drove to Hacienda La Pampa, a supposedly operating vegetable or fruit farm that has old plants of all sorts, from brussel sprouts to spiny lemon or grapefruit trees. There this belonged to a friend of Fernando's, Esteban Serrano, who agreed to have us for the night so we could trap. There we tried a strange fruit also called chirivoya X that looks like nothing else except maybe a swollen, deformed cone of a juniper?, but has its yellow pulp around large black, flat seeds taste like pineapple. These grew on trees in the gardens behind the house, which is an incredible delapidated old stucco + wood job with ceilings about 12' high or more and smelling of bats or mice. The garden attracts hummingbirds, + Fernando sees at least 3 kinds there. We saw blue-eared, and also spinus, and some small stupery + crested flycatcher.

After making arrangements for us to return to The hacienda That evening, we returned to The city + killed time until Pancho*, Fernando's assistant who knows how to do anything, showed up late and gave us a thrilling ride out to La Penya. I finally realized all that hom- flowry is as much to warn kids, dogs, + people that to warn other you're coming as other cars or demand they move aside. Pancho left us in Esteban's hands at 6 pm, + it was getting dark. Esteban drove us a couple kilometers to a road-trail that went up a steep gully (quebrada) on the steep westy east slope of The mountains. We set 32 traps in various places here, in the dark, but lighted by the moon, + under the southern cross studded in the blackest sky I ever saw. And strange night noises came down the canyon and off the steep slopes - croaking frogs, some owl's scream, + a whip-pow-will. And a fog crept down The main valley. 27 June From our dark room at The hacienda 5:20 am was still quite dark, but 5:40 was light; a very ambiguous sunrise since it was again quite cloudy + fog hung on the mountains.

Carl Pearson 1969 * Except of the 8 traps they put around the house we got 1 Mus with a bumpy tail, which Fernando says is due to a flea. journal 27 June cont Quito, Ecuador Pomasqui We discovered we had set traps some in a very old corn field with a few scattered bushes and rocks, some brushgrass + yellow flowers; some along a somewhat rocky slope with small bushes + brushgrass; and some along a dry stream bed with rocky walls. All this area was quite dry, with dusty - gravelly soil. We caught nothing. Up the canyon there was somewhat lusher vegetation (good sized bushes), and quite a number of birds were calling. Those I saw or recognized were the eared dove (Zenaida auriculata), the ground dove they have here (rufous on wings), sparrow hawk. In the very old cornfield there was a small very plain gray - brown flycatcher (at least he sat on stubs + waited + then flew out after an insect) with a dark tail; not shaped like ordinary flycatchers (Tyrannus). The doves up the canyon were making what were similar to bandtail pigeon courtship flights, + there were quite a number of them (30?). There were a few mosquitoes here. Esteban then showed us the Rio Monjas, which there is at the bottom of a great steep canyon with almost perpendicular walls. We saw a bridge over the river, a stone arch one, and a small bridge over an old arroyo that the conquistadores bridged on the way down from Colombia, again Esteban.

Quito After breakfast Esteban drove us back to the city, and at 10:30 we went to la Universidad Catolica, where Fernando teaches. We talked a good while with Hernans Armas, the botanist. Then we went to Fernando's house for "lunch," and at 2:30 he dropped us off in the center of the city to shop for a map + a rapidograph. We went in the Catedral Santo Domingo, with the encouragement of a kind little old lady in black, little as are all the people here. It was astonishing, the elaborate + lavish [illegible] gold woodwork all over, and dimmed lights + lighted richness. And in a side alter they were changing the light bulbs. After shopping, we walked back to the hotel, a good long walk that got us drenched because it rained poured, and lots of stores because of our dress, or rather ie jeans + boots, and our behavior, ie walking in the rain instead of waiting it out in the shelter of a doorway. Downtown Quito streets are overflowing with lots of neon-type signs, + the sidewalks are only 2 people wide. Mt.

We were at about 3500 (or was it 3800?) meters. There was grassy, weedy, flowery open fields (tall grass - 2-3'), and "chaparral"; Thick, tall shrubs + bushes with a good ground cover. Traps were definitely tropically green + varied. The bushy areas were great for birds, + there were lots of all sorts of flowers, including big ones that just looked like hummingbird flowers. There were hummers all over, maybe because the rain had stopped, maybe because it was evening. We saw 4 kinds of hummers, of which I remember, 4: Patagona gigas, blue-winged? (the 2nd largest species), puff-legged, + a canely rustly-colored one with iridescence on The rump. Also, we saw an ant pitta grailoria on the road, blue headed tanager, flower piercers, 2 copanis, + perhaps a capionuliform. At dusk there were frogs croaking and calling, violently one that sounds like a clear plik! of water drop in a cave or a tap on some musical wood.

Pichincha all day was sweater-cool except after the rain colder. 8 June 1969 We started up the mountain about 7am from the hotel. It was a cloudy morning, but continually changing. From up on the mountain the valley would sometimes be obscured for some minutes but then clear. We could see the bottom of the snow of Cotopaxi. In the traps we got 3 hopefully Phyllotis and 2 probably Acodon. The Phyllotip-like are generally shaped like Peromyscus, with fairly large eyes ears and long tail, but humkier and woolier. The fur is somewhat matted in appearance and in general red-yellow-brown in color. Of the one was caught under a bush in a grassy-weedy meadow with a thick cover of herbaceous plants, and the other along the dirt road, along which grass + weeds grew. The traps along chaparral didn't catch anything (30 out of the 70). Lots of the vegetation is familiar, like lupine bushes, sorrel?, and a bush somewhat like Bercharia. A conspicuous tall (~15-20') herb is Siphocampylus (?), which is a single stalk with shaggy leaves coming off it and large whitish flowers. The humming are always around these. We saw the same birds this morning as yesterday, with the addition of a gorgeous Buteo, prob. polysona white phase. It was

The underside of the wings were light, with some of The gray from the upper surface darkening them, (I don't know if the white of the tail extended to over the rumps.) The top of the head down to the eyes was grey, + the back of the one we saw well was cinnamon. Dr. Orees says This was the & , that the ? would have a grey back. There was a pair sitting above the slope. Today I also got fairly good looks at the cotinza, as it flew away showing its white tail spots on an otherwise large, plain dark bird, + I saw a hint of the crest of a perched one. The crest, as I saw on a skin later is of longish, floppy reddish feathers. The flowerpierces (Diglossa) & saw well was all black except for a blue patch on the shoulder. The flowerpiercers keep up a good competition with The hummingers, who Fernando says usually flee, except for Patagona. The most common hummer is Lavela , which is quite energetic and sassy. We saw one chasing Patagona, + once a giant hummer flew by with a Lavela hanging onto its tail & with feet? (montada en la cola).

He didn't know what Phyllotis looks like, which means no one in Quito (or Ecuador?) does.

I couldn't say how to get there, because the road to take is on precarious dirt one that turns off The Panamerican highway. Other weekend drivers knew about it though. We went through variations on páramo vegetation, depending on how rocky or bushy, but smothered with stipa? The bunch grass. Up high there was a sort of flat valley floor that was heavily grazed by herds.

Among the boulders was a lichen + cushiony plant vegetation. Cotopaxi rose up above us here, + the clouds cleared for awhile so we could see his dazzling glacier-covered splendor. In other parts we saw the snow-covered peaks of Chimborazo + Antisana, all spectacular against the blue sky + contrasting with the brown peaks. Upon this high (3900m - 4600m) puna type pumas were lapwings, which were in groups at this time of year. Fernando saw nothing is known about their life history.

There were some old rock wall cornals in one valley, + around them lots of rabbit-like droppings (goat?). I set 29 traps, 20 going up a low gully with occasional cactus sticking out of the rocks, + 9 going up 15 steps apart @ a steep, rocky wash that got more cactus. 35-37 feet. In terms of animal life, what looks like there might be the most of is spiders living in holes under rocks. They must dig some, because the dirt looks dry there, + they make irregular, fine webs in the holes. One spider I saw was large (2" diam. w legs). I also found a small dusty spider, maybe crab spider?, under a cactus branch. We found scorpion skins, a grasshopper, a beetle, a moth-ish insect, some scats, a lizard dropping. Birdwise: Asthenes cactorum (canastero de los cactus) feeding on cactus branches. In same area, an old tangle of sticks in a cactus, just next to Asthenes. Sialis reinondii - a couple near top of hill. And I think a swallow. (Birds identified w help of Koesche Las Aves del Departamento de Lina) 1 July Dawn is even more ambiguous here than in Quito; here the fog is closer. You could see well enough to look for birds about 6 am. We want to check traps then + then exploring to find a good tillandsial.

Erol Pearson 1969 Journal Papa Leon Trace 1 July In my trap line were 2 Phyllotis darwinii, one near the base of a cactus and the other in a tumble of rocks in the bottom of the gully. Looking under rocks with DPP I saw the tail of a lizard (gecko?), one with dark and light bands. Up near the top of the hill we found some droppings too large for Phyllotis. But we looked for Tillandsia further N and E in that area, and found some on some hills that were dusty, sandy, in places muddy from garvia. Also, these hills were apparently an old ruins being reconstructed half-heartedly. We found a large scorpion under a Tillandsia and a handsome bug (1 1/2" long) on one, and saw quite a few what we think are fox tracks. There were at least two kinds of Tillandsia. A second good stretch of Tillandsia we found 8 mi. SE of Chilca, there on both sides of the road. The hills there are sandy-dusty also, and the Tillandsia grows in kind f mats, most part of which is dead and black. Here we found mouse tracks, mostly fox tracks, a broken egg shell, + collections of bird droppings (stajad). tracks of a passerine probably. There were lots more mouse tracks down along the highway, + some tracks across vast stretches of sandy dirt (800ft). We returned here to set traps at about 4:30 pm. Then both Mymal + I found what looked like fresh tracks that must be Brushinus. The track is a Thick-toed, three-toed

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.

Carol Pearson 1969 Journal 2 July Papa León Tree At first all we found were garbage dumps + a military playground where annies had done exercises. Finally a dirt road led us into a wide, dry river bed with steep rocky hills with Tillandsia on one side and steep sandy hills with Tillandsia + dunes on the other. We climbed The rocky hill, which has quite loose + slidey soil. On a prominent rock was some bird white wash (and a feather -> + a dropfly wing wide buffy spots down the larger bone side and some darker spots on the narrow side. Perhaps burrowing owl.

Carol Pearson 1969 Journal Papa León Tree 2 July I saw 1 or 2 burrowing owls + then the garrus came on thick, so I saw no more. In driving through irrigated parts we saw lots of mockingbirds, + over one dump we saw a turkey vulture.

The route out croppings up the hill have great mounds of some bromeliad on them. Rest of morning spent at 5½ km NE San Bartolo, where we caught made in the traps on the rocky slope and moved the traps across the river & valley to the sandy hills. I set 40 #ge collapsible Shermans roughly 35' apart in the sandy Tillandsia but near to rocks of the top of the ridge in places. Oatmeal bait. Birds!: A pair of miners on the sandy Tillandsia hill. They caught my attention with twitters + calls notes as they flew over the ridge and down to the river gully. There they spent time around the mouth of a burrow under a rock sticking out of the river bank of the gully. One went in it once, + there might have been young bird noises. One sat at the mouth about a few minute or so. Otherwise they didn't seem to be doing anything definite except preening sometimes.

The mouth was just the wide area under the overhang of the rock, + the burrow went back from this. The bird itself was pretty darn plain, breast light grayish with maybe a central speckle, back darker + brownish, sides pinkish or pale rusty. I'll need a better look. No white in wings or tail when it flew, but perhaps lighter outer tail feathers. Perhaps Geositta maritima. A quite large hawk flew over watching me and then landed on a sandy hill for awhile. All dark above, chest + beginning of belly light tan with some speckles. Molting some primaries. I don't think it has the shape of beranoactus. While it was on the ground, standing, it looked huge too, + showed whitish above the shoulder, bird facing around the front of his neck. In the afternoon 2-3:30 we went further up the valley behind Papa Leon to a place 10 km. east NE Pucusana, 250 m. Here is more rocky, steep hills, all lichen covered, more lilies + other plants but not cactus. At the a burrow of 2 owls were 4 pellets, 2 entirely of black beetle parts, 1 for 2 with a couple scorpions and parts of 2 mice. The burrow was shallow + only about a foot deep in the soil and didn't look very used. There was lichen growing all around it, as elsewhere, + a rock in the mouth of the burrow. Here I saw a pair of perhaps miners - they'd fly from one slope to another. Also heard a strange w-wwr! w-wurr!

Lord Pearson 1569 Journal Poya Leon 3 July Heard a few crickets. We drove south at night 8pm-ish to the tillandsial so. of Chilea + Thereabouts, looking for the mice along the road. We saw one by luck, a Phyllotis. Also we saw spiders by their eyeshine on the Tillandia area + heard crickets there. Around the house in the late afternoon: Amazilia amazilia - all rufous tail, back, belly; greenish head, blue throat on one. Several on fig trees, but Pyrocephalus rubinus was chasing them. This v-flye. had bright red top of head and spot in middle f breast; breast otherwise pale pink. Also shook lots of Eupelia coryza out f the trees. Lots f Z. copensis singing. 4 July Up to 10 km ENE Pucensona to check traps first thing. I picked up some burrowing out pellets from the a more-used burrow of the pair there. There were lots f scorpion type of <tules> on the rock by the burrows. The burrow was irregular, excavated for among the rocks, + lichen growing over most of the dirt at front, so it didn't look very used, although I think its this pair's main burrow. There was no garbage lying around, just some pellets with mostly insect parts + some small bones. One of the owls had a fairly dark head, while the other's head was light with "eye-light" eyebrows. Rest f morning went to 5 1/2 km NE San Bartolo (Quebrada de Guy de Hueso). Nothing was in my traps. There were fresh Burhinus? tracks (weren't there yesterday).

Up in the dunes, where there's nothing but sand, I also saw mouse tracks. The bird tracks for awhile followed the tracks we had made the day before. Down in the arroyos AKP saw hummingbirds. We saw a sparrow hawk down in the lower river bottom. End of afternoon we returned to Quebrada Cuy de Hueso, and I hiked up the ridge with Tillandsia to the dunes and then up to the top of the mountain, Mt. la Chimbomba we think. On the depressions on the lee sides of dunes were collections of small snail shells of several sorts and seeds. sometimes cases of insect pupae AT the top of the ridge of dunes were fox tracks, supposed Burhinus tracks, probably mouse tracks, and tracks of some passerine (1 ½" long). The passerine jumped + scratched along places where sand was falling off the face of a ridge. Up beyond the sand and on to the top of the mountain was fields of lichen covering earthy or sandy or mixed soil. There were lots of the small burrows with little piles of dirt at the mouth like we see down on the flat. Saw a pair of sparrow-size birds w blackish, short tail. Under a few rocks that were at the top were several large crickets. Coming down the steep, sandy face of the mountain, between two rocky ridges, I saw lizard tracks.

We heard bats and scared up some fairly large bird that had been on the ground. 5 July Slept out there on the flats. In morning AKP found some holes with larger piles at the mouth + found lizards in two of them. Drove up a canyon that led to a chapel in an area of goat cornals + rocky hills + a variety of green plants of lush size. Trinocorus annicivorus was here - 2 males, I guess - both had black design on fore throat + chest. They were fairly tame. Also here was a flock of 20-30 sparrows-size brownish jobs that ran on the ground but wouldn't cooperate with me. Puerto Viejo Late afternoon went to beach south of Chilea - location 7 km SSE Chilea, 2 am. On the beach were lots of Larus modestus, and crab holes. On some off-shore islands and flying around were some Sula variegata, 2 turkey vultures, a gull all white with dark gray mantle and wings (but I'm not sure if it was big enough to be L dominicanus), and cormorants. Not any great numbers in this bay. In the dunes + sandy fields in from the beach were small lakes with lots of reeds. Here were lots of lizards and tracks of rats, a mustellid w/ 1 3/4" long forefoot, a heron + rail type things, + of Burherinus.

Carl Pearson 1969 Journal Poya León Trace 5 July Here I saw: Finally! Burhinus superciliaris. One pair started to run away at my approach, but stopped and nervously preened their breasts and watched me and made a nervous noise. When I moved, they stalked further away + stood sometimes tall, sometimes crouching. Sometimes they'd drop, or depress, their tails or start to squat. The two were identical, being mostly gray-brown with white abdomen and a prominent black stripe above the eye that makes the head look longer. The tip of the beak is dark, and there is some darker shade in front of the eyes, so the face seen from the front has an odd pattern. The eyes + legs are pale green. A second pair scared up + flew off when I was about 20 yds away + showed a flashy black+white wing pattern. They had a loud alarm call: tu-tu-tu-tu, tu-tu-tu-tu,... Gallinula chloropus - one pair - saw bright orange faceplate. Pezites militaris - 2 - bright coral red breast, brown back, ieterid shape. ? Falco femoralis? - a falcon fairly large, w dark underside of wing near body, rufus somewhere on back. Mimus longicaudatus - 5 ?- maybe flycatcher. White undersides; white above-the-eye line; dark tail; rufous rump; some white on wing coverts; rest grayish. Not too good a look. ? Was bad light.

Hummingbird catching insects on or close over water, even got his tail wet & flew away. 6 July Before breakfast went to beach near Puerto Viejo. In the fields of Distichlis? (a grass) were Pajites militaris doing flight songs and a flock of Sporophila, at least some S. telesco. Some of these small finch-like things were plain dusty below, + on one there was white in the tail. Something was hiding down in the grass while it sang. After breakfast we dashed up to Quebrada Cruz de Hueso to find a mislaid box of traps. Seeing the small holes there reminded me I had seen a wasp digging a hole in the sand at the beach. In late afternoon we went to the beach again with John Davis and Manuel Pienze. I showed them the 4 Burhinus, + they shot one. There were tracks of them all over the sandy parts, not going into the grassy parts, + no holes where they'd stuck their beaks in. (We also saw a few Burhinus tracks along the road from the autopista into San Bartolo.) Today the birds were together and wary, running off while we were a couple hundred yards away at least.

(Where RH trapped last night) This was Stipa + rocks + in some places close green ground cover. There were old large rodent droppings not big enough for guinea pig.. July 9 Traps caught 4, I guess. I only got one, Phyllotis darwini in a snap, + something carried off 3 snap traps. (#5 c?) All The mice we've got up here have loads of red mites. We descended to the foggy zone early morning. It turned out to be a sunny day even there. I saw Hypsibulus as soon as we got to the fog-smog below (town that starts with "C"). Papa León Trece At dusk I set 28 small Sherman's at 15 places with oatmeal at the top of a hill at 4 km ENE Pucurosa. This was all very rocky (lichen-covered) with dots of cactus. We saw a couple bats and heard 2 strange bird night noises. July 10 These traps caught one Phyllotis amiciss. (OP put up). There wasn't anything unique about the place it was caught. All morning we trooped over the desert 8 mi SE Chilca, setting up a grid. I looked under Tillandsia bushes and found large wolf? spiders, small spiders (2 kinds), silverfish, small scorpion. Also an old reptile egg about [illegible] this big. And lots of piles of curly-Q bird droppings, where perhaps birds roost.

The fog was lifted so we could see even to the tops of the hills. Saw Condor (1), Pygocelidon & cyanoleuca (10). Also 3 Vulture Geositta peruviana maritima : med-sized; runs for almost hops continuously on ground + poor rocks, occasionally slightly cocking tail ; attention directed groundward, hunched a little forward; onceasionally catches fly with a flutter; plain grayish brown back, blackish tail, dusky undersides white, on throat, faint cyeline. Heard a song like a house worn. July 11 Spent most of morning tromping around Tillandsia desert & mi SE Chilea, looking under plants and digging in holes. I found about 4 or 5 kinds of spiders, 3 scorpions, silverfish, a very small cricket, an insect like a velvet ant sort of - all these under plants. I didn't notice any pattern of distribution, + all spiders about equally common except one very large one that got away + lived in a hole about 1 1/2" diam. On a sort of the desert that has dirtier soil with a crust on it there were holes like at Quebrada Cru de Hueso, + in one of these I found a gecko. Early afternoon we went up the valley to 8 km ENE Pucasona, + I climbed up the ridge there that has cima vegetation on top (some hills are just cactus).

I saw no signs of mammals except small diggings, skunk-like, at some bulbs. I found a dead + a live tarantula-like spider living in [crossed out: crosses] holes or burrows. Also a small (1 1/2 ft) snake, slender, brownish black with 2 dull yellow stripes. Up on the rocky cliffs was a Geositta with rufus in its wings; it fluttered its wings while making its loud, chattering noise. It also makes a strange "wa, wa" call. In a tree clump at the very top of the ridge were a pair of Zonotrichia capensis and a pair of Troglodytes aedon, with the [illegible] wren singing just like at home. There was another wren singing in the next valley over the ridge. The wren seemed much trufly [crossed out: darker] tender on the abdomen than I remember wrens in VST being. Also saw a Condor and a slew of blue + white swallows and the other Geositta probably maritima, and 2 burrowing owls. Late afternoon we spent on the study plot again. We to saw a lizard, probably like the one I caught this morning off the plot on a hill with bluish rocks. That one this morning lost into a Tillandsia when I came along. I started mopping the piles of bird droppings, each dropping a coil or squiggle of greenish thread about 1/8" thick. The whole droppings about 3/4 - 3/4 " wide, sometimes with white on top.

The ones I broke open had some scorpion parts but the rest unidentified. The Barhinus Davis put up had nothing in its stomach except some pellet-like things. The 4-toed bird with large feet w short stends both walks and hops. 12 July At the study plot for a couple hours in morning. Saw a sparrow hawk. Collected a jumping spider that was on spike of Tillandsia, a scorpion from somewhere, + a very large wolf? spider in a large hole. I think there are at least 2 kinds of wolf spiders that get quite large. Middle of day spent climbing mountains at 4 mi ENE Pucusena. The ridge with ruins on top of it (the northernmost ridge) has little cactus or other plants, but the next ridge south has a few bushes and eyebrowed spiny bromeliads and flowers. Up there I found quite a lot of old large rodent droppings spread around, and one fairly fresh. Something had been tearing up lilies. We caught a lizard in the rocks (see RH). Late afternoon again at study plot 8 mi SE Chilea. Got another large wolf spider in a hole and saw others on the area in their holes, [see spider page].

I found lots of 4-toed bird tracks, some with 10" stride, others in long trails of 4" steps. Also, piles of a new bird of dropping, fairly fresh: 1" ± long, ¼" diam., greenish-greyish with white at one end, more or less cylindrical. Also - large rodent tracks and cat tracks. I collected one of the eggs from the nest ML found yesterday, since they were cold + wet this morning, it was all dried up inside. Small arthropods found: pseudoscorpions, 2 kinds at least; one isopod; one isopod; 2 small crickets; a red mite; a good number of very small orangeish spiders; one very small jumping spiders; collembolae of several colors; a small insect, collembolo-sized, that doesn't jump, greyish. Returned in late afternoon + tried to pan for small arthropods. It didn't work. Too much junk floated and once wet, anything alive would be unrecognizable if you could find it. In the course of the day saw 4 regular-sized passerines fly over. 14 July The day (turned sunny! about 10 am) devoted to searching for small arthropods under Tillandsia plants at study plot. Morning technique: pick up plant, live

Carl Pearson 1969 Journal 14 July + dead parts, + shake vigorously over newspaper; quickly pour through fine screen into pans (2); search with eyeballs through sand in pans and stuff left on screen. This turned up stuff, but not all plants brought the sand below them with them. Afternoon technique: shake a plant-mat in place, lift quickly, drop KIM can (12.7 cm diam) upside down + push in about 1/2", slide something (like notebook cover) under can, pick it up, dump in bucket, pour small portions in pans to search with eyeballs. We tested to see if bichos got squashed or lost when poured with sand by catching live collembolos, mites, insect A, spiders, putting them live in the bucket, dumping in some sand, + searching in pans. We found them again. The KIM can method seems to work, just doesn't catch much because of small area covered. We found a baby gecko under a Tillandsia; he was about 2" long, + a small white, fragile eggshell was under the same mat. We found 3 other such egg remains during the day. Also found 2 large scorpions in the > flowers like grew course of the day. A large weevil w snout sunk into a shoot of Tillandsia. In Papa Leon I watched a hummer sit in the (1:10pm-1:50pm) fig tree out back for 40 min without changing perch. He turned his head from side to side jerkily about 2x/sec. The whole time. Two other hummers were in the tree at various times during this 40 min. When he left, he zoomed off among the Casuarina, catching insects 3, ignoring the

Carol Perna 1969 Journal 14 July Hummingbird feeder in the tree. Something has emptied the feeder once, after about a week. There are Amazilia amazilia. A dead dog on the road in Chilean had attracted about 20 black vultures. 15 July To study plot on a very cool, somewhat damp, + of course foggy morning. Did one K/M can sample, + then set out a plot to sample lge (relatively) arthropods on. The plot was a circle of radius 12 ft. on sandy soil with large + small Tillandsia mats. We roughly measured the area covered by mats by assigning geometrical shapes to the mats + measuring the crucial dimensions, occasionally approximating by figuring a plant here would account for a hole there. The search procedure: spread white canvas, shake plants over it, eyeball on canvas + on sand left behind for anything larger than would pass through fine screen (kitchen sieve). We had 4 or 5 people searching. Did part of the area, then another K/M can sample. Returned 2:30 ish and did some more lge arth. search. Found small beetles + a caterpillar. Collected everything found under a mat + picked separately Late afternoon walked on north end/Puertos Viejo beach. Lots of rat? tracks, esp. along cliffs. Crab tracks at the upper edge of the beach go for as far as you can see up stopping. 2 poppoise shells. Lots of dead gray gulls, some dead pelicans, comorants, boobies. Lots of live graygulls (200), Belcher's gulls (3- two

Ducks on small pond: slender neck, white check+ fronty Throat, black? top of head + back of neck, dark under tail, tail lights, slightly from above in flight. Anas versicolor or bahamensis Night - returned to study area, walked around lake side but saw nada. hunted spiders + geckos on plot, found some + one respectively. Heard bats + crickets. A large orb-weaver on his web. 16 July Drove up to havana Pachacamac to pick up Jorge Reyes and his friend Andres Mendoza, who guided us up a valley south of Lurin (going just satellite tracking station) to location 20 km E Lurin, 1000 ft. This is a very rocky + steep-sided canyon, this year fairly lushy with lilies + other herbs so that people with cattle, sheep, & goats + accompanying dogs had moved in. So no vizaachas, which had been promised, of course. Flocks of Sicalis started exploded + zoomed along the valley with loud chattering + settled on the cliffs, like insects or bats. Ones I saw were plainish brown, some with yellow wash in front. Maybe 500 of them. A hummingbird whizzed by. Geositta maritima spread evenly all over. Pair Troglodytes musculus. 20 utulbia copensis singing, a few in valley, a couple up side canyons, dif song than at Populoon. Cathartes aura - one The valley got dry + barren again as we went further; the fog got stuck on cooler more western peaks.

Rest of day on hands+knees searching for large + small arthropods on study plot. Did lge arthropod counts (8,12,13,14,15,16,17,18). Small arthr. counts 6-11. We wonder if time of day effects results, since we usually find less in afternoon small samples. Today cleared briefly with in late morning, got very cool + windy late afternoon. New things we found: caterpillars, "wireworm," black beetle, lge green+lge brown leaf hoppers, dead ladybug. I collected 8 live large-sized pseudoscorpions and put

Carol Pearson 1969 Journal Pagan León Tree 17 July them in a jam jar at home, with an assortment of collembolus + insect A + small spider + small thysanuran. Mymol showed me the most fantastic spider that lives in the old cotton field by the beach. Its abdomen: [illegible] (more or less). More a shape a hemipteron would choose than a spider. 18 July Foggy, but almost sunny for awhile in late afternoon. Early to beach, saw that duck again - Anas bahamensis because head is brown not black, tuffy back border on wing. Then to study plot + did lge arth. counts (19), (20) and small arth. count 12. These counts on the west side turns up much fewer thysanurans. The Tilleandrie on this side seems to be shallower, not so much dead stuff buried in sand, more is just one layer sitting on sand. Late afternoon did another lge arth count and sat on hill facing NW from 5:30-6:30. Heard flock of about 4 birds go by with a few chips about 6:00; then about 2 birds with whistling wings like doves; then saw a dove. All heading away from cotton field + orchard toward plot. Before dusk RH saw probably Brehinius fly from down in arroyo to opposite hill. After dark OP + I saw a lge owl come fly above us. Spent night near study area.

Before those, while still light, a hawk flew over. Did some small with counts (13-16). 13 was a dif. technique: shake plant on canvas + into + pour into bucket, then search small portions on canvas + in pans. This plant had a drift of sand over part of it. It was a cool + slightly breezy morning. Cleared for middle of day. Walked along beach just north of Puerto Viejo. Picked up old porpoise skull (CP 14), cormorant skulls (CP 11,12,13), procellariiform skulls (CP 8,9,10), a fairly complete skeleton of small procellariiform? (CP 13). 10: small, white below, black spots on white all over back, black band on end of tail. Also picked up 3 eggs we found on beach while up + were being drifted over with sand. These turned out to have chicks in them, not rotten, but dead. The chicks had 3 unwebbed toes. On the pond at the north and of the beach were Tringa flavipes (7), Charadrius vociferous (4), Anas bahamensis (7), Charadrius alexandrinus (6), some sandpipers like western. On beach were usual plus 2 black oystercatcher. To Pochocomac in midday.

(N2) Thrushes were singing in am; 4 large parrots flew by. 9:30am - caught Elaenia in N2. Nets up all day. Sunny + windy all day, wind changing from down to up valley about 2pm. During day saw: Condor (2), sparrow-hawk (2), Cercomacra (1), Apus andecolus (3), sooty bellied swallow (2), Myiophobus fasciatus (1), Myiotheres tuberculifer (1), paroto (4), Batis diex (10), Tundea chiguano (10), Cinclus leucopehelus (1), Columba maculata (2), small hummingbird (1). I set traps in big bushes along road, both sides: 15 small shrews or oatmeal for birds, 7 snares at stations w/ 7 large folding shrews w/oatmeal. Saw a bunch of these Turdeas hopping on a turfey place by river, just like I migratory. Cinclus was a disappointment - hardly bobbed at all, didn't go under water, just jumped from rock to rock, getting his feet wet, eating from algae-covered rocks. 22 July Caught nothing. About 9am got a Patagona gecko in N1. Watched 2 diggers in river in front of camp. They were both blotchy brown, + the white on their heads was sort of grayish. Could they be molting, + that's why they don't go underwater? The deepest one got was in up to his belly. A pair of torrent ducks went by camp too. The 4 graced. They could have beat us down the Rio Corite. We descended + found we hadn't been where we thought we were, that to get to Yungay you have to turn up the mountain at a town called Magdalena.

AK Pearson 1969 June 30, 1969 4 km ENE Pucusana left Lina Flew to Lima on June 29, arriving 6:30 AM at the beautiful new Lima airport. OP + J + Ray stayed at the Davis home in the San Antonio district of Miraflores. The house looks [illegible] on a little square park on the front and on a boys' school soccer field on the back. Shared walls with another smallish house on one side, and an open lot with construction materials in it and a little indian hovel in the corner on the other. We did a lot of shopping, much talking, and organized so that we could take off for the desert in the morning. After picking up Myrna + Carol at the airport this morning we drove south to a little development just north of Chica. Chica is a rather pretty strike indian town with an interesting construction of adobe as you go down the main street. There's a very picturesque church on an undeveloped town square, and a few modernish painted houses, but most buildings are mud-brick unpainted and decrepit. Papa Leon B - where our rented house is located is in a real estate development of maybe 300 sticky-tacky cement box houses. The houses are on enormous oblong lots, many of which have large

AK Pearson 1969 vegetable gardens, big structures for raising chickens, etc. This afternoon we drove across the road to an area where we thought there was Jellandsia. Ray, Carol, & myself set out traps while Betty, Don, Dicki & I went to do errands in Chula (gas, matches, etc.). We met the trappers in the same area at 5:30 - and it turned out there wasn't Jellandsia there, but what we took for Jellandsia at a distance was cactus. We probed around a bit - in several two places someone had been digging and there were mounds of shells. The second of these places we panned about further and could find under the surface of the ground, about 50 ft up a gradual hill, plant remains, pieces of bark & wood, much evidence of a fire, plus lots of shells - many of them too small to have been food items. Great arguments. My theory that the vegetation had been lush at one point & burned over was not widely accepted. Found (3) small (3/4") mandibles with curving teeth set in the - (leguat? fish?); also several scorpion cast skins, little snail shells. Set 5 snaf traps about house - outside.

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.

A.K Pearson 1969 Spent several hours looking for the perfect Tillandsia site - one area was on an army reservation full of garbage & paper. The other spot was up the Quebrado cruz de hueso "upstream" from San Bartolo. We drove up to the end of the garbage dump area and found some Tillandsia growing on great sandy hill areas on the right, and Tillandsia on a very rocky hill areas on the left. While the rest of the crew were examining the sandy area I stayed by the car. Noticed some little holes in the ground and started to excavate a couple. In the second one I looked at I found a lizard - Gecko? . The burros seemed to be blind, and the lizard was about 3" under the surface. The top inch of soil was damp from the contact "garra", under which was a layer of very fine dirt. About 3 inches down was a layer of harder rock - not impenetrable but quite compressed. Subsequently I spent over half an hour digging up more holes but didn't find any more. OP found another gecko, which seems to be a different species, just a little up the rocky mountain. The rest put out traps tonight, but I didn't. I show me were tying the tag on the lizard #600 and it vocalized - sort of a low-pitched rasp. Carol had heard it do that earlier, too.

July 3, 1969. 4km ENE Pucasona, Wpt Lira, Peru Went back to the quebrada east of San Bartolo to pick up the live traps for the rocky lilladsia and set them out again in the sandy Lillandsia. Steve Davis was with us, and while he & OP went off to shoot the 22 I went poking up the quebrado .... the relatively narrow, 10ft deep one which currently is dry but has had water in it fairly recently. Saw some mouse droppings and under a pepper Tree found a large collection of pellets & droppings from some sort of bird of prey. A slight mustelid odor was noticeable. I kept excavating the little one inch wide burrows that he'd produced a geco yesterday. One had a large (3") scorpion in it, but the others produced nothing. The burrows are more frequent in the sandy soil, and seem to occur in groups. Similar burrows dug in the hard-pan surface all had 50-calibre machine gun bullets in them! Steve was fascinated with these traphies, & set out to find more. We dug up several more and then headed back for the truck. The final dig produced not only a bullet but a geco curled up beside it! Walked around behind the house in the afternoon - saw a vermilion flycatcher and a couple of hummingbirds plus the little dove and the Zonotrichia which are so numerous around

A.K. Pearson 1969 the house. (12. when it was dark) After supper we drove back to the Lladocin area south of Chila, along the road. As we slowed down on the shoulder of the road to start a U-turn, a mouse showed up in the headlights. Carl & Ray went after it down the road while we drove along to provide light. It soon went under a rock and escaped when we turned over the rocks. Ray felt sure it was a Phyllotis, and I thought so too, although our identifications are a little shady. We jack-lighted across the Lladocin area - nothing but spiders. Then a couple of rodents in the holes along the road excavation where our earlier traps had not functioned. A fox mouse poked his head up to see what was going on, looked at us a second or so, and disappeared again... July 4, 1969 4km ENE Pucunana, Dept. Lima, Peru Nothing in our 10 traps around the canal. Ray was the only successful trapper - with one Oryzomys. We set out after breakfast to check the Sherman's which had been set in sand + I found a fox skeleton - somewhat weathered - in a small wash, with a scrawny rodent by Lladocin - also nothing. So we went to meet boat at Samed stream San Bartolo to buy bread, to Pucunana to look around, and then home again. We decided to go back to the Quelchedo Cruy de Iduezo to spend the night.

a nocturnal bird she has been tracking - I set out 30 snap traps in the arroyo: 20 + 3 in the arroyo, 6 in medium-size Tule-bedsia, one under the car. We fitched the tent for the night. The 3 large snap traps were set and a collection of very odd droppings. I had found similar ones this morning in the arroyo further west of tonight's camp. They look a lot like fruit : corvatin sideneus this afternoon I found them scattered over an area of about 2 ft. Many of them have a spot of dried liquid by then on the tan earth. No bird white wash around, maybe 25 pellets in all(?). Another item of interest was the deep hole that the army hop had dug in the quarriedo. It was about 1 1/2 yards in diameter, and the bottom was really out of sight. Ray + Myrnel went back to investigate and flaked a bit / Ray estimated it to be about 50 feet deep. No trip or anything to warn you about it. Excavated a burrow in the side of a sandy hill - it was a straight +/- 16" tunnel with bird droppings and a feather in it. After dark (+- 6:30) we went out looking for geckos. I set out a line of 21 Sherman's more or less in a straight line across the empty

He make a short dash when I briefly lowered the beam, but after that he stood very still while he and I waited for the rest of us to come take temperatures, etc. Maybe 5-10 minutes of waiting. July 5, 1964 4 km ENE Pucusa, Dept. Lima, Peru Most of the traps had been rolled up but, one one that had been under a pepper tree had been carried off into the tree - spring. No mice in my line, although OP caught 2 + Ray caught 1. On the way back nothing in the Shermans. On the way back from the trap line I excavated a somewhat large burrow opening in a small area of soft sand on top of the hard pan. A lizard (Tropidurus?) ran out a back hole and is in our collection. He seemed cold to the touch. Subsequently I noticed other similar holes - large main hole, one or more side holes, not necessarily open. I excavated several, and the tunnels seem to be about 2 ft long from front to back door. They are also deeper than the tunnels in which we have found geckos. Maybe 8-10". Drove up the valley a little way on the left had fork to an abandoned chapel. It

There were lots of little [illegible] visible so after supper I stayed home and separated out the fauna. Counts about 18 pairs of females - gecko size. We set traps in the late afternoon at a beach a little south of Chlca. The beach is pocked with crab burrows and covered with mouse tracks. The tracks are like little highways through the vegetation. Also caught 2 kinds of lizards and found 2 geckos curled up under cardboard (different pieces of cardboard). Set 17 traps along the road (Sherman live traps) baited with oatmeal. July 6, 1969 4k ENE Pucuvana Dept. Lima Peru Four Mus in my traps. Roy caught some Oryzomys but otherwise lots of Mus only. We drove up to the Quebrada (Cay de Mueros) to look for the box of large folding Shermons that was inadvertently left there and picked up a batch of tiny free pellets to change. Marketed in San Bartolo where we also had to change a tire. When we got back to the house we found a note saying the Davis family had been by with Manuel. Please call his girlfriend Isabel. We lit into our chores of the day and before long the Davis car drove up with everyone aboard. Sat

K Pearson 1969 + talked a while over lunch + coffee and the all lost Miguel + Peg drove off to the beach to enjoy the sun + see the Burriengas (sp?) which Carol had seen there this morning. Beth, Didi, Isolde and I fished around the beach, track animals and digging up holes. One conclusion we came to was that the little circles of "droppings" (?) were made by spiders. The "dropping" are carefully arranged at a given distance in a perfect circle around as central hole which regularly yielded a whick-with-a dark spot, sometimes curled up spider. A couple times the spider seemed cooch in a cocoon of sand grains + melting, but frequently the spider just didn't seem to have a "nest". We drove to the cliffs above the next village of Puerto Viejo and found an old indian burial ground -- complete with partially excavated graves + bones sitting around pieces of cloth, etc. The cut along the road showed layers of detritus from indian life over 6' high. Hard to imagine why they chose to live up on that cliff. But fascinating. July 7, 1969 Nothing in the traps so we got an early start for the Rincon Valley + high directions. Stopped in Lima at P.O. + Sears and then started up the Valley passing through the indian section of San -- incredible. The squatter settlements cover the hills

AK Pearson 1969 within [illegible] miles [illegible] of Lima . Below Chacana we passed above the coastal fog and came to bright sunlight. About 13,500 ft we took a minor road off the main highway and found a campsite. Ray set a long trapline but since I was having faintness problems I put out a short line relatively close to our tent -- 13 snap traps at 2 Shennans . The traps run along the bottom of a talus slope at the among big boulders scattered among rocks. July 8, 1969 Last of my 15 traps was spring and empty. [illegible] moths? The other trappers had better luck however, so we have precious mice to inject a squash chew-moves or etc. It was a bitter cold night to us -- maybe largely the metabolic effects of the altitude. The thermometer says -4 C. This AM I set Shennans (16 g lter) in the same rocks and boulders as last night's line, although different sets. They are close enough by camp that we can check them and also watch over them as wandering people go by. The mice traps & Traps go 24 hours, it seems. The mouse trap went downstream this morning, upstream this afternoon. Checking traps at noon -- nothing, and at 5 PM -- nothing. So I took up 9 g lter to give to one of the other Trappers for the night.

AK Pearson 1969 13 We were doing cyto-tax work in the tent both afternoon and evening. The temperature dropped spectacularly as the m[illegible] disappeared, and we had spent the night in the tent. July 9, 1969 4:ten ENE Pucusa, Dep't 2 Lina. Woke up with a wild headache this morning. We broke camp while Carl figured up showa (my traps had nothing), and headed down the road. Myrnel also was having a bad headache- the first symptom of distress she has shown. We picked up Myrna, Ray, & OP's traps down the road and then went downhill to San Jorates where we had breakfast at a little roadside restaurant .... our first meal out in Peru! Arrived in Lina about 11, had a wash-up visit at the Davis' house where we also picked up some mail, and then back to Papa Leon Tree. I drove over to "cactus hill" set where Carl wanted to set some traps. There is an archeological sample on the side of a hill there, showing about 1 1/2' of human sedimentation - shell fragments interspersed with dark dirt and fibrous stuff. The site seems sort of strange: neither at the top of the hill nor at the bottom. Carl & I pulled apart carnivore droppings after supper while the others were working with mice. Among the prey items were (from 5-6 drosoph)

The Davis children and Betty arrived quite early and when Carl returned from his traps we set of down to road to lay out OP's grid. Betty and Didi and I took a long walk about the outskirts of the area - following back up the dry wash to where a road comes in from the apple orchard in the irrigated valley beyond the Lilladsin area. We then undertook to write letters and make identifiers on all the posts put out by the rest of the gang. Drove back to Papa Leon for lunch and after lunch OP took Steve off shooting up in the valley 2 of Papa Leon while Betty, Carl, Didi and I went and fished lilies and dug up some of the wild begonias for Betty to give to her parasitologist friend Sarmiento. Spent the evening planning our approach to the grid study tomorrow. July 11, 1969 + km. ENE Pucusana, Dept. Lima, Peru. Settled down on the grid area this morning to assay the wildlife, etc. I was specializing on the Lilladsin. The main species (the only one here, perhaps?) grows about - " tall.

A.K.Pearson 1969 16 Drove up to Lima with John Davis, via the hacienda where Jorge Reyes is foreman. Also stopped at Atacoyos (where there is a large cement factory), where John climbed up to survey the loam. I sat in the car, which was parked at the lower limit of the hills. Then into Lima, where we had dinner at the Davis house, joined for dessert at the evening by Manuel Plerge. July 12, 1969 Lima Peru. A leisurely start on the day - washing my hair my clothes and myself. Then Betty Davis, Didi & I set off for the National Mus. of Archaeology... or whatever its name is. On the Plaza Bolivar. After the museum I took the to lunch - and at Betty's suggestion we ate at the Chalet Suisse, where I had a marvelous sopa criolla and de camarones cliecher (marinated shrimp). Back to the Davis house and then to Solar to do our grocery shopping. To bed soon after dinner, which was lomo saltado fried by Alexandra - fresh fried potatoes, little fried pieces of meat, onion, aji, tomatoes mixed together. July 13, 1969 Lima Peru.

We parked the car and were immediately approached by a "huacero" with his bag of goods -- bit of cloth mounted on paper, pots of various shapes, spinning needles, and a couple strings of beads. I bought one of the last (70 soles) -- made from shells, and with a stone (a clay?) pendant weight down the chain. We probed amid the excavations -- where mummies, cloth and bones were strewn haphazardly. The dead were apparently wrapped in cotton and their clothes, placed in holes in the ground which were then covered with poles lashed together. The sand and rocks are put back over that roof. Didi and Steve took a couple feet, one of which I kept, and I excavated some small-mammal bones. Never came to the skull, but there was about a whole skeleton of some un-specialized beast, a smaller femur sacrum, a large rat tibia, and a toe nail (very lately compressed to almost 3/4 circumference). Anteater? Bones were adult, and seemed too small for fox or dog. Lots of mycelia (?) dropping in the hollow where the graves were.

AK Pearson 1969 picked up a batch of humming bird pellets - (at k-14) and saw 2 owls. There was lichen on the rocks, and some snail shells about but other than a few cactus, no other vegetation. Drove on up the coast to Lanchay, where there is an Experimtal Forest Research Station. From this very barren landscape you drive east up the ridge until you get to a area carpeted in a green vine - like thing, with some greas, eucalypts, firs, agave, in spare additio to native trees. Lots of Lantadina suzzy in the area. Saw scorpius. Shrubs on the hillside were green with new growth - I don't know if they are leafless at other times of year. Back to Lima about dark. July 14, 1969 4 km ENE Ocucaña, Dept. Lio, Peru. Came down to Papa Leon with John this morning, in tie to go out on the grid with the rest of the crew. I was a - charge of seed samples (or soil samples) - t determine organic content of soil samples from different exposures etc. Carl + I uncovered a very young gecko under a thick dead mat of Tilladain. There also was an almost whole, empty, light blue eggshell near the gecko. Brought in all my soil samples - collected in a kli can (diameter 12.7 cm). Measured the exact amount of sand in the can at record it's depth, & the bottom of the sample, and the type of soil.

The samples were sieved through screen wire (18/" mesh) and the material that didn't go through the sieve was brought home and put in a paper cup with water. Stirred with a spoon + scooped everything that floated. The drained it on napkins & wrapped in smaller & newspaper packages. In the afternoon I helped Carl work out a way to quantify the invertebrates in the soil, so we took a couple samples. Very true conusny, and very few licho per sample, using a kili can collector. I had a marvelous lunch for La India for dinner - Ray cooked it out back on the fire. Ingrid fixed cabbage to go with it. July 15, 4k. ENE Pacusaan, Pajat Lira, Peru. When the rest picked up their traps on the grid, Carl + I and Didi Davis worked out a Trueman Small Invertebrate sample and then marked off a circle of 24' radius to census the large invertebrates in. Carl drew a map show the main clumps of Lill. And we proceeded to shake the areas out, one at a time, over the ground cloth and coted + killed the invertebrates. Did about 1/2 the circle before going home for lunch. We found several chips, in which was a broken scroks eggshell, but no scrocks. Several scorpions, spiders, pseudoscorpions, Thpamra, and an occasional other insect.

At dark we went back to the grid to make a count spiders in a couple squares - using eye shine to locate them. Also found one gecko - saw a shadow running in the sand ahead of us. It is entered in myrmal's catalogue. July 16 4th. ENE Pucumana, Dept. Lira, Peru Off to find Jorge Reyes (the Gobernador de Lira). From his house (on a vegetable farm near the town of Pachacamac), we went to find Andrés Mendoza who had agreed to go with us to hunt viscachas, who really knew what to find them. So off up the Quebrada de Lira, along a road which lead through a quarry that was used for rocks for the Atacama cement mill, past a few clusters of goat herds, and ultimately (says Jorge) to a mine. We parked the car on the road & took off in various directions. I climbed up the southern side of the very steep mountain valley we were in. It wasn't too hard going up, and I saw lots of old viscacha droppings. One little cave recess had tracks & droppings of viscacha & armouros, and in another small cave I found the viscachas mandible - maybe 150 meters or so above the road. Neither saw nor heard a live viscacha. I didn't go to the very top, since I started worrying about getting down again. The vegetation was different from the Lachay downa - here there were lots of different

One plant looked exactly like tooto, but no smell (the Peruvians told of it was [illegible]). Another thistle-like plant stung a little like nettle. I didn't see any Begonias in the area I was in. There were two owl or hawk pellets in the cave where the viscacha + some tracks were, but they had only insect parts recognizable in them. The hunters were unsuccessful, and after a picnic repast (Dulce de fresas + galletas, fruit, coca cola, + a chocolate bar) we headed down the mountain again. Jorge Reyes speaks very rapidly & seems very bright & with a good sense of humor. Andris Mendoza we describe as "sweet" -- he's the one who knows more about the animals. When the two talked together we couldn't get a word of what they were saying.

I also captured a giant (3 1/2") scorpion, which we have picked for reference purposes. July 18, 1969 - 4km ENE Omangas, Dept. Lur, Peru Toke county invertebrate samples on the grid this morning. We seem to be getting a different balance in the sample on the A-1-3 slope than we were in our samples from the back side of the hill. More cricket, fewer Thypanura. Guess we need more samples from different areas on the grid. While the others were taking care of the night's catch Carol & I went up to San Bartolo and did assorted shopping. Had dinner at noon in anticipation of a camp-out on the grid tonight. I have been watering two soil samples in half a 50-gal drum outside the back door. I collected the sample on Tuesday July 15 and started watering it the next morning. Slept out on the grid area to see what birds could be seen going to roost there and also to make spider counts. Ray, Byrd & I drove south to the little beach by the fieldmeal plant for a while at "sundown". There were lots of grey gulls going to roost on the beach,

Lim Pen [illegible] Note on the grid in trio to see 3 kinds of birds go overhead - Carol identified them. The started in on more invertabls counts. The slope of the grid toward the road seems to have fewer Hygromas than does the area where Carol + I did our "circle" sample. Spiders seen everywhere. In our count last night we seemed to be finding more spiders than in our first counts, but OP consistently found more than anyone else. The ones I saw mainly seemed to be on sandy areas near Jella-bra, but occasionally sitting on top of the dead Till. Trying to figure out the flowering of Till, and to be sure there's only one species here. Relatively few of the green ends are going to flower soon; it appears (maybe 5%?). Some that are nice star-shaped flats are putting up a forkish scape which may be as high as 10 cm, looking a little like a snowy asparagus tip. Others, with split heads, seem to occasionally put out a "flower-feather" singly, or in very small clusters coming right out of an axilla. i.e., [illegible] "flor-feather" with no rachis, or stalk evident.

A.K. Pearson 1969 24 Spent a couple hours at Pachacamac visiting ruins. The main temple (to the sun) and the reconstructed convent (Inmaculada) are of Inca origin. The temple to Pachacamac was pre-Inca, and other areas date back to earlier times. The small museum at the entrance had objects from the ruins, including the idol that was worshiped in the temple to Pachacamac. It was of wood, with a huge two faced figure at the top and various stylized serpes, jaguar's and birds carved into it. About 6 inches in diameter, really not very impressive. Shot the one guy fully apart. Skeleton pellets picked up earlier this month in the Q. Cruz de Ilesos. The pellets were at the base of a 4' cliff, also in front of holes which might have been burrowing owl's. Probably more than one species of bird involved - the pellets were not all the same size, anyhow. Stored below: 1) 2 scorpions 2) 2 scorp; 1 Mus. 3) 3 scorp; > 2 lizards 4) 23 scorp 4 lig 5) 16 scorp. 2 lig 6) 8 scorp; 1 lig. 7) 11 beetles > 1 cm; 1 1/2 cm beetle 1 scorp. ; 1 myst. mandible 8) 4 pre. myst. mandible ; 1 scorp. plus about 100 more pellets, more or less the same stuff plus 3 Mus., 1 small bird.

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.

K. Pearson 1969 25 A couple of little bats flew over camp at dusk. July 21, 1969 10 to 5 yango, 8500 ft. Deep Fire Peru Try 7 snap traps held 3 Oryzomy-like mice. Two "long-tailed Anicors" in the large Sherman traps - one under a pile of rocks at the base of the hill, the other and Scotch broom about 10 ft. from the stream. All three of the Oryzomy-like mice were across the street from camp - under a large rock, along an old stone wall, & in a clump of Scotch broom. Spend the morning fixing up bird nets and skinning a cyto-taxi, the catch for last night. There is a curtain of Scotch-broom in Wilson all around our camp; a little pastured with grass, when cattle and sheep are grazed. Other shrubs are pepper-trees, lognet (?) trees, cactus about 8' tall (pifester), huge agaves, Tillandsia epiphytes drooping like Spanish moss from old trees. There was mint growing along the river, & a caña. Lots of insects around our light at night. It has been a real windy day. Climbed up the hill behind camp this afternoon, look, for lizards, etc. Saw a hummingbird & not much else except fascinati cliff-hanging plants. Two or three species of Tillandsia, little succulents, etc. Day 21 x OP + I set out traps about 1 miles up the road. Along a steep terraced slope with lots of holes. The stones on the stone walls are quite small, so I don't know what we'll catch there. I also put some sets in & around a kind of native tree covered with drooping Tillandsia.

Lost 3 of the foldy Sherros. Broke camp & spent the rest of the day driving back to Papa Leon. Cytotoxic this evening. Saw 2 Patagonia gigos while fishing up my traps this morning. They were flying above me and feeding in a flowering stalk of the giant agave that was so common on my trip before. July 23, 4 mi ENE Pucusana, Dept.

Dr. Lon Sarmiento and Mrs. Inacebo dropped in on the Davises, as did also Manuel Plegz and his movie, Isabel. July 25, 1969 4pm ENG Pearson Dept Lima, Peru Carl, OP and I spent the day at the field - doing a few more micro-meteorological counts, and weighing dead and alive Tullahoma corn.

The water system, however, was working only part of the time & I don't think we ever got the hot water going. All in all, though, it was very comfortable. We set traps out -- Didi, Betty and I set a line of 27 large folded Sherman's along the retaining wall below the path along the lake. Another 10 we put around the house ... there was lots of mouse sign under the edge of an overturned boat, near a pile of wood, etc. I had a real feast for dinner -- all set up around the long table in the main room of the lodge. Didi & I checked the traps and the house, & caught a Chiffchaff (hummingbird?) under a clap of sticks at one corner of the house. OP & I checked mine & the others later in the evening, but no one was home. July 27, 1969 - Bonacoda In the am we found a Calomys in another of the traps around the house. Betty in the other line. Later in the morning (I had put about 10 small Sherman's around the house to see if we could get some diurnal activity), after we had not caught any more mice, we all lifted the overturned boat & grabbed a nestbox. Further excavations produced 4 tools ... large ones.

A/K Pearson 1969 29 After lunch we drove the three young people down to La Oroza where they took a collection for Huancayo. OP + I drove home, stopping briefly at the Davis home. It was sort of a slow drive home. The road was clogged with cars fully hitchhikers from Lima. It was fun, though, to see the all enjoying the scenery. We got back to Chilea about 6:30. July 28, 1969 4th ENT Pucusana Dept. Lima. About 8:30 last night there was a motorcycle down our street, led by about 100 mostly children, some of whom were carrying paper balloons or stars fixed with a candle inside them. The walkers were followed by about a dozen cars, blaring horns etc. I don't know what the honk was when the boys in the back room started their part, but it didn't break up until after we were up this morning. OP + I met to the grid (first to ride to change a battery) + I struggled around while OP weighed + recorded some more things. I am sweating through an attack of diarrhea and am good for nothing. The three "ayudantes" got back from Huancayo about dark and OP came back from setting out traps soon thereafter.

Went to the grid in area, where, thanks to some garins the previous evening, we were able to measure the amount of water in a Tilla Basin flat, etc. The rest are doing cage traps while I putter. Back to the north end of the headland in the late afternoon. We strung 2 nets for bats and I set 3 steel + 5 bacon-baited Sherman (large) for the large-track rat. Ray + OP went in a few caves, but found no bats. As soon as it started to get dark, much bat activity by bats flying close around the rocks. Soon caught one in the net and removed it - a very little Pipistrelle-like(?) bat. Another flew into the net but we tried leaving it there for a few minutes in the hope it would call in another, but it flew off. We stayed until 7:15, looking for geckos, but with no success. July 30, 1969 Had a Rattus norvegicus in a grip trap set along the wall of the cave at the high-water line. It was a long-skinning female - caught by the back foot. The other traps were undisturbed, & to get into the grip trap she must have gone past a large Sherman baited with bacon and one baited with a mouse carcass. So much for bait.

We had arrived at the beach before dawn to get to see all the pre-roosting activity. Contrary to the other morning when I saw the bats circling the rocks about 2 ft. away as they flew, this morning the bats appeared at the rock where our net was and then took off in a high direct line towards the blackest cliffs towards the ocean. I suspect they were reacting to our presence. We made chromosome spreads of the two bats and the rat, and then cleared out of the house. We descended on the Davis household about 6, and went to a Pizza restaurant with them and with another expatriate American (Charles Williams, AID). July 31, 1969 - Davis House, Lima Ruford arrived in the morning, and the Pearsons and some of the Davis family spent the time shopping for assorted souvenirs.
