hail and snow. Collections on journey included:
1 Mothera at 50 km. mark. Beria seen nearby but escaped.
1 Humeral [illegible] at 61 km., 13,800 ft. Another herd, 4 nearby.
2 Berdia at km. 104, 14,300'. 3 others escaped.
Feb. 11 Vicinia watching with Kofords and Tirazon hunt in
morning. 3 inches of snow on ground in morning made
tirazon trekking easy. More hail + rain in afternoon but
only about 1/2".
Feb. 12 Morning mostly clear with scattered clouds. Vicinia
watching in morning. 13, 14, 15.
Feb. 14 & 15. Hunglaco. Mornings cool + cloudy, only after patches of snow.
Feb. 16 Left about 9 a.m. with auto, Mary and all kids for km. 50.
Camped in valley at km. 59 1/2 at 3 p.m. Considerable rain beginning
at 4 p.m. and drizzling on until 8 or later. Put out about
25 traps around old stone corral in thick ichm at 5:30 p.m.
Some of the grassland here is as thick & lush as any place
seen in the city/low. Think enough to find natural mouse
runways. Warner thinks that hunglaco is shown by
ants under rocks, crawls, numerous moths flying at night.
Flushed 2 Mothera while setting traps.
