spermophilus spretus about 30 pellets (small owl or sparrow hawk) from 5 1/2 km NE San Bartolome contained 1 pr lizard faeces (too big for gecko), about 6 scorpion bliger stingere and 20 big black "stingers" 6 from something else. A similar quantity at Westwood out along with the pellets was a small rodent mawb/bl not sure and a larger felid (Oryzomy sp.). A similar quantity of pellets from 10 km ENE Pucuran (Burninjaul) contained many more scorpion stingers 87 (86 prs of pouncers + 50 stingers), 1 small rodent not sure, plus 1 very small mawdib, plus leg bones. at 3:30 drove to a beach at 7 km SSE Chilea. Behind the beach are farms surrounded by tules, fields solid with dense Distichlis, an old abandoned cotton field full of weeds, Distichlis and lives and dead cotton plants. The beach is bordered by various succulents. I put 30 Sherman through the weedy cotton. Lots of mouse + rat footprints. Others put traps along beach edge, and Shermons along road of distichlis. Fairly bright sun today for first time since we came to Peru (middle of day & afternoon). July 6 Pan traps at 6:30. 16 Mus in my live, 2 mus in my paul and Anita's lives, and 1 mus, 2 Oryzomye in Barge (both along the beach). Served all afternoon. Went back into the valley east of San Bartolo to recover some forgotten traps. Flat tire and jack wouldn't work.
