3 species of reptiles couldn't care less about the Tillandsia.
Spider dominant. See Nov. 5 for next analysis
Off to Tarata at 8:30 to meet Benson. Plano lots, all day
in Tarata, Zoolochia singing everywhere; English Sparrows
also common.
Oct.12 Tarata. Sunny and warm.
Oct.13 Left about 9:30 for higher with Carl & Benson. Camped
at our same place at 6 km NE Tarata, 12,400 ft (Queñafloja),
measured out a grid in good bushy Queñahuecha solutus.
gird 11 stations x 9, set at 4-6pm with large & small Sherman.
Sunny and warm.
Oct.14 minim 26º; clear. Ran traps at 6 a.m. on grid: 4 Darwin's at 2 Bolomips
bendyochii, then again at 9 = 6 more Bolomips one q which escaped
untapped & scorpion made a meal. No mice caught in clumps of
Peño Queñuva, but a Bolomips was seen twice at the edge of a
green clump next to the tent about 8 a.m. x Alrocoara trobe at a
hole down near the turn of the road- also visceoba/printe, foot prints,
and probably skunks. Carl saw a visceoba, about 150 yds from
the grid, but I have not seen any droppings on the grid. The only
dogard seen has been my old friend x Jodeum's multiformis under
the sand store out off the Panfay.
Did plant inventory with Carl in afternoon; 4 rows = 22
stations.. Hoof hasn't hit any coctus yet.
