P. PEARSON 1950 36 Left for Chagres about 11:30 and arrived at 3. The deer skin + skull quite sturdy. Smith had moved from our camp west of the town back to the hotel in town. Skinned until about midnight. July 30 Finished skimming and packing. morning [illegible] sunny. Light showers during the night but certainly not more than 1/4 inch. No rain yesterday or the 2 days before that. Left 1 p.m. and arrived Gerardo at about 6. Numerous cranes between Castilla and Soano. also kingbirds, scissor tailed + vermilion flycatchers, 3 doves. looked for swallows most of the way and saw 1 Tree swallow. July 31 Left 8:30 for Bogota. 1 dead + Didelphys on road at Salto; several 2/3 grown porch young (65 days +/-). Arrival Bogota 1:30. Aug 5 40 museum species bated with walnuts in rather tick, ferry brush on the hillsides near the Feriender caught 4 mice (3243-3246). 3245 + 3246 near rock outcroppings. Aug 6 Went by bus with Borero + Smith to the Paruro of Guereros between Zipaquirá and Pacho. According to Borero it is not as good paruro as, for example, the Paruro of Soano. I was impressed by the scarcity of birds. I don't think I saw more than a dozen individual birds in 5 hours out on the paruro (snipe, big thrush, sparrow, warren, swallow, flycatcher). Several hjaras (3246-3247), two frogs (3249, 3245), no mammals. In one swampy part of the paruro and nearby saw [illegible] many runways, cuttings of grass and Espeletia flowers, and droppings that
