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.

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.
