Ran traps at 8km and had several Ph subliminı and one abdon bolivensis. Sept. 10 Light frost. Temp -2°. T traps had 13 Ph sublimini, 4 Abdon Bolivensis, and 3 Hesperomyza droller, a captive sublini got out of his cage and drowned in the water bucket. Cauterised llamas bedded down on the hillside. This camp is at km.96 on the Oruro-Cochabamba road, 14,000ft., 20 miles NE of Tacofaya, Cochabamba. at 13,500ft. near the Oruro-Cochabamba border started to see Nothoprocta in rich. Shot 2 and saw 6 others in a few miles. O+4 non-breeding and a 3/4 grown f. Also saw a flying flock of 5 hualatares, the first for weeks. No bigards. A little east of the Oruro- Cocha border started seeing after guanin/pigs along the road and all the way down to 9000 ft. walking. They may account for the dufflings. Thought were albacores. The road crosses much country that looks OK for vicunas, but saw none. Finally drove off on east side, just through a good freemna zone at 12,000ft., then becomes bushy and then semi- with Schinus and numerous shrubs and trees near to me. Road drops down to the Tofeani river at about 7500ft (Eucalyptus, orange, corna brown). Decided to go up to Tofeani; the wolfachini type locality, which they said was 6 degrees upstream. The road goes straight up the river bed, which is 150 yds wide border stream, with the stream about 25 ft wide. It started to rain and with no escape from the river bed and invisible road that forks the stream again & again, after 6 km. I decided to come back.
