acaquia camp (11,500') for rest and relocation; a few Queniu trees were in bloom with long pendulous flowering stamens. As you come down the Quenua quies out just about where the cactus coetus begins. At acacia camp (mountain scrub) things are quite green and lots of things flowering (but only a few Cactas flowers). Saw metal workers working on tents, and saw 2 labagora squabbling. Zonotrichus singing, thurules, doves, etc., a few big Cerne blooms. Have the impression of greener and more flowers than 2 weeks ago; much of its greenness is not from ground cover but from new growth on the bushes (plus brudelia). The growth on the bushes will probably be frowned by goats etc., at or was our campsite near shell, burrows, coral, & clavars! Mar 28 Heavy dew. Left about 8:30 for Tarota. Visited + shuffled tents, then drove to the Tillandzia camps NE of Tacua. Vegetation same. Saw nightjar on the study area, on ground, at dusk, and heard some bird chirking + calling overhead but couldn't see it. Mar 29 Dew on car overnight (clear), heard seed snaps at dawn, saw lizard tracks on study area. The barcan is about 1m deep and is about 30 yds from the inland edge of the grid. Big tillandzia are 16" tall, To Tacua about 200m.
