no, Cullway
From Burren entrance. Steep hillside, narrow valley,
mangy stonewalls, hillside crumbling terraces and
rock outcrops, the walk with low bushes of many
sorts including a couple of serophyll lupines. Looks like
archium habitat, but hope to get magister. One bat
flying at dusk. A few tree joint cactuses; much grazing
by cone burrows. Bushes include Baccharis, Serophylari-
(caleolaria)
aecea, a dissected-leaf Senecio, nettles. Put out one bag
of traps just before dark. Eucalyptus here in the town.
Aug 20. Sat. Traps produced only 2 mice, longish-tailed big Hispermyx,
Big hummer (Potogonia?) seen and another smaller black hummer
at the rocks of dawn. Large coarse stick nest in one of the two
joint cactuses may be cactus wren, but have rather seen
nor heard any. Colder south-facing slope just below
here has good rich lupines. Local yokel (town Cullway) says
altitude is 14,900 ft'. About 2 miles below the town the
roadside and streamside has considerable thorn bushes with
lavender flowers, about 6 ft-tall!
and
Took another wrong turn and ended at Huaros, but near
there encountered some nice stone wall-bush habitat
remnant of magister habitat above Tarata. 12,000 ft.
Lush lupines, Caleolaria, and other bushes, many with showy
flowers and hummingbirds. Set half a bag of traps at noon.
Took a couple of hours because of small boys, people
working in the fields, etc. Then drove down the Canta road
about 15 kilometers and set a half bag among large buildings
+ bushes (Baccharis + others) and joint cactus. Then drove
up to the river below Huaros and set among stones
