P. PEARSON 1952 24 Jan. 8: Hda. Panamori. Looked for turron nests in the morning, no luck, and photographed flickers, but too cloudy. Also caught 4 more trout, then looked for Tutupaca. Lunch on the guinea pig - two pancho but saw not a one. Because of the recent good weather (last being rain for 14 hrs this afternoon) the folks need to tutupaca no said to be still open, so we took that. Camped above Santa Rosa at 14,000 ft. Jan. 9 Heard turrones in a.m. and up to the divide where made attempt to clean teal & hunt trees. Finally got a tree here - a big [illegible] of ophirina. Stopped at lunchtime between Pato Grande and Panpa Vizcacha to look for rheas. Saw none, and no trocos, but Andron who lives here says they come out onto panpas in early morning. Put out 10 traps in front Cholo on panpa after rain - hail storm. Jan. 10 Up at 3:30 a.m. to hunt rheas. Andron didn't show up, so at 5 wandered off into foothills, but saw no rheas or trocos.
