Anteaters are fairly common here. Have peckers? The [illegible] banks of
the gulley next to camp is riddled with burrows and is a center of
bird activity!
Nov. 1 Clear, calm overnight, minm 9°, noon very hot, wet-dry bulb
at 1:30 71°-42°; 2:30 still 71°, clear, breeze but felt stifling.
Benson caught a Weston's jay in thick thicket along creek at 5:30
pm. (in swift trap but it survived overnight for cytoto). He also
carped 2 Goldfinch petrus in heavy thicket near creeks,
also 2 ozidiae, Anula in 19 large Sherman's at base of
the cliff toward birds caught 3 berdeichini and 2 ozidas.
Looked for frogs after supper, but only tadpoles in a shallow
pond along the road. Full moon,
Nov. 2 Night clear. Pulled up traps at 6 am. maybe a Ph. darwini
out the grid; see specimen. Then Carol and I finished plant
survey on grid. Not most all species of plants except for
the bird-nest cactus, an Orestrochilus visited 4 or more of
our red yarn markers while we were surveying. This area,
like all our study
grounded; this one dry
cause. Horses nearby.

27° slope
There are times of ancient agriculture
hills nearby, plus recent
plowing on others.
No. of hideholes at mouse sites other than regular stations: A3-0,
B1-0, B3-3, C8-9, D2-9, D5-9, E4-0, F1-0, F2-9, F4-0, F7-9,
G3-1, H4-0, I4-0, J2-9, S4-9, K1-0, L7-1. I'm gathering this
data it appears that the mouse sites were near outcrops, not invariably
over with hideholes. In other cases there were hideholes beyond the range
of the 2.2 meter plots.
