"cheer", lots of roll on the last, almost separate notes.
Hummingbirds nesting.
Fog lowered onto Cerro Campana at about 4:30 and
lifted next morning.
Forgot to mention Zorzilicinia singing in the
lower part of Acari and saw English Sparrows there also,
No early bird chorus. Had been a little dew drip off
of car but it was dry at daybreak and grass/weeds dry,
but a tuft of doceron fluff marking a trap was covered
with dewdrops. Foggy, but soon clearing.
Avita line of about 50 small traps caught 2 mice and
1 big/pregnant female Phyllotis darwin. Lots of her traps
springing & empty,
Bird caught only:
#645 A8 Phl dar & vog open, tail short
#646 H6 Mus J sd.
#649 J2 Phyllotus dar J sd.
Saw a big Oryzomys several times yesterday and this
morning 50 yds. from the tent in a pile of stones & cactus,
another about 300 yds down the road, set numerous dry Sherman
for them but they don't seem to go into them, while
jock-fighting, this second guy charged down his runway,
jumped into the back end of a Sherman, thereby springing
it, and escaped.
Filled in the rest of my grid with small Shermans,
so now a trap at each station except the three where
mice were caught last night. Avita added
