confirmed that Punoma + Alconera are there, and maybe
Chinchilla. Monotres in my traps.
Then drove on toward Puno. A few more two diggings
then a considerable hintus of rocky bunch grass + tola. Then
approaching Challapalca (13,800) is a wide sloping pampa
of tola containing two diggings. A scattering of
Polyepis at 15,000ft. After Challapalca (where they keep
weather records) the road climbs up a gorge and opens
out onto a Pampa at 14,300' (Capazo). Stopped
for lunch near a set of two diggings where I saw 2
dark-headed treos, no bubbling. That one, which seems
to be intermediate between the Santa Rosa opening migris
and the big pampas one from Surime.
Then took the Pezcoan road from Capazo, over
a # divide, then down to the Pampa de Arconera.
The divide is feaster country with two diggings.
Left 4 golden traps at fresh diggings to be picked up
tomorrow on the way back to the Puno road. The pampa
de Arconera is slightly rolling with large stretches of
tola or of thorn-bush (Mogyjriales). Two diggings in
a few places. Found 3 sets of fresh diggings near
our camps and set 6 traps there at 4pm. Swine pig
diggings too, I think. At 6 had 2 treos, one of them
a mottled peole, both dark-headed. At 6:30 set 20
MS around old corral in thorn bush and And
ants set +25 in similar. Rain after supper. Some
patches of sun during day.
