20 x 20 "extremas". By 6:30 p.m. I had caught
8 on my area, probably a few left but no definite
sites. Others caught 5, 6, or 7. Caught a Pardal
only 61 cm. apart. All of the "singers" noted so far
have been males.
March 21
Caught 2 Turaz on my area between dark and
8 p.m. Some singing after the moon came up.
I think moonlight encourages singing.
Checked traps at 5:30 a.m. Nothing on my
area, but one trap was buried. Set traps in numerous
old burrows and several near the buried trap,
but no further evidence of animals on my area.
Walked back to the Sfeelyta burrow. Golfin's
is 170 m. beyond the first tree (2 owls, no pellets).
6 owls at the other, beyond Contreras' stakes but
no more pellets. Found another burrow with a
few pellets at the edge of the plowed field in
Julio's area. Total 68 yrs pellets (dry lot). [illegible]
Morning was partly sunny, warm, light breeze.
Checked all traps at 6:30 p.m.
April 14
Put 110 museum specks at 3 p.m. across the road
from the original Eyzaga trapping place. Sunny and
warm. No shuffling or running.
April 15
At 9 A.M. traps held 45 Alcodon and 10 Dryzomys.
None of the Alcodons with green vegetation in gut, none older
than age 4; only 3 feeding males and one pregnant ♀ and 4 barren ♀.
This locality on the Autopista to the aeropuerto & Eyzaga is
23 km SW of the center of Buenos Aires.
