Very few weasels, just before dark I put out
18 big Sherman's at good holes at the base of tree and
cactus in a sea of senedelas. Also 16 large Sherman's
along a stone wall around an olive grove which was a
sea of vast-high weeds. Anita put 20 traps
along its gallery in senedelia salutat.
Fosotrichia in flocks of a dozen, but heard singing
twice (maybe same individual). Crimson flycatcher,
2 sizes doves, burrowing owls, small humming
heard Petropora, 2 sparrow hawks, barred barn owl.
There are said to be turmorous.
March 24
Night warm, clear, dew on car but bushes dry.
Only captives were 3 large Rattus rattus along the stone
wall around the olives. A Barouze and breeding owls.
Boxes at 2 burrowing owl holes revealed akodon,
leviucosa, Oryzomy's?, Mus, and a quite small creature
such as Phyllotis amens.
Other plants common are a small tobacco that they
call taboilla. The flowers of the ligure tree are very sticky,
arranged in spikes like bubbleys but smaller, have a fairly
yellow tongue with red design, Stamona [illegible] close at.
Got 40 small Sherman's about 11 a.m. in the muddy
pasta olive grove, some near the brook, others along wall
about 30 yds from brook. A few in lush green grass,
and some in a taller deambos-grass.
March 25
2 mi. E. Atiquipa. Evening cloudy but clear before A.M. Dew
on grass so that few Bidens stuck. Much dew on car.
