may have been in morning - Anita had 2 Berlepschii, 1 coarse
Phyllotia, and 4 soft Phyllotia. I had about 35 trifes out and about
1/3 of my catch was in the trifes at 8:30 p.m. when I ran them
by jacklight. Photo at 11,700' can serve as well for this level (11,500).
Found a few Boecheri? (see spec.) here in bottoms.
Up at 12,200 among stones in quadrangulars, Boecheri?
small
Polyepis, coctus, and bouldershanks, I got 2 birds (Torea?)
under stone shelters, 1 berlepschii, 3 coarse Phyllotia,
and 3 soft Phyllotia (dominii?), about 20 trifes. Anita, among
big rocks and Polyepis got 1 berlepschii and 3 soft
Phyllotia.
Forgot to mention that I saw English Sparrow at the
smelter at Tinterpose.
Arrived all morning, then drove up the hill further.
Disappeared into cloud banks at 13,000ft, so at 13,500'
stopped, set a few trifes, then drove back to 13,200, set
a few more, then back to a big meadow at 12,800'
where we set some more and camped.
12,800'- camp on green meadow. Considerable Polyepis, pine quadrangulars
and Boecheri? and bouldent shrubs including the "paintbrush";
some small coctus but no crees, a few patches of hairy coctus
in the canyon, no yarita; red snipes (Thrusorn) and black+white
flower. Temp. 5° one cloudy dawn, 35° next summer after clear night.
13,200'- Boecheri?, quadrangulars, lupine, orange "paintbrush", Polyepis
in places, some yarita. Above 12,200 the tall coctus begins to
disappear and Polyepis become more abundant. Virgola here among
mobs+Polyepis.
