2. PEARSON 1952 60 But about 25 traps along base of rocky outcrops in thick grass, some Zygophyllum, tuberous begonia etc. No sign: Auntie put 46 in grass, around stone-house ruins, edge of cloud forest, and in cloud forest. Evening clear. May 4 Morning clear but foothills and jungle all cloud covered, the upper cloud level only a few hundred feet below me. Temp at 6:15 40°, but frost and ice skin on puddles. Nothing in my traps. Auntie had a little Abrocome, 2 Melanerpis, and one long-tailed mouse-oryzomys or sumpling; the melanerpis both in the forest. Temp. noon, 56°, rising. After lunch moved down the road about a mile to a place nearer good forest. Put out about 35 traps in sphagnum - cycade along forest border. No runaways or sign. Cloud bank still over jungle at 7 p.m., Went jacklighting along the road. Saw 2 pr. of green eyes possibly deer, both together, one bigger than other. Possibly glanwood and young. May 5 Nothing in my traps. More Abrocome in Auntie's. Hunted for pudu and goup and took movies of some cloud forest. Quite a few tropical birds [illegible] feeding in the patches of cloud forest - bright colors and all, even a woodpecker, I think. The highest forest looks really broad-leaved tree but plenty of bearded lichens, moza, ferns, bamboo, and sphagnum. Just below my traps, at about 11,500 ft., a really broad-leaved tree is common. 5:45 a.m. - 35° 6:30 7:00 8:20 38 42 - 47% 46 - 45% 11:30 - 55° 41% 12:30 - 55 2:00 - 57 3:20 - 57 41 41 38 4:40 - 54° - 31% 6:30 - 41 - 53 9:45 a.m. 50°- 60% 11:15 54- 56 Frost + skin of ice in a.m., day all sunny, jungle still blanketed by clouds May 6 Jacklighted down to my traps after dark and slept down there.
