rock wall line had 1 adult Ph. domini, and at 7 am, I had 2 baby Ph-d., at 9 a.m. another adult and two more babies. Put out several more traps for dominii, Lots of Tinamotis singing and tracks in the snow. Hare scurries twice, no tries. Glacial polish on bed rocks, strata are WSW. a few sprinkles of hail during day, scattered clouds in afternoon, more cloudy than sunny. April 8 Night was clear for a time, leanly frost, then haze and clouds, thin ice. Traps in middle of night caught 2 more young dominii and a Ph. bolivianis, in the morning 2 more Ph. bolivianis and a big food. Yesterday afternoon a herd of several hundred llamas, alpacas, and sheep grazed up the valley and moved into the unsurveyed huts & caravels across the valley. The 4 men promptly found several of my traps, so I walked over to talk with them, and reset them. This morning the livestock moved into the valley again, with the 4 men came a horse, 3 donkeys, and 3 adult chickens (1-2 yrs). Yesterday was the first day clear enough to see sunrise & sunset, and it appears that we are south of Lago Juninada, something like 5-10 miles. Lots of traps out for dominii and Chrd/Chardanas before the men came up; but backed during half of this dark period. April 9 then heard of traffic at midnight: 1 adult Phyllosto - partly clear. Morning mostly clear,
