two more adult Darwin's and two juveniles of less than 20g x released them, as well as two other caught earlier. Day mostly sunny until noon, then salted cloves and occasional hail. The shepherd across the valley comes to scene on his people everyday: Pedro Garcia Nina. He calls this location Punta Perdida. He says the llamas belong to a sort of cooperative, the sheep are his. Every night the laste [illegible] are herded into the vicinity of its corral but are not forced to enter it. In the morning, however, they are confined in the corral for an hour or more - to prevent them from grazing too far away during the day. It is 28 Apr 08, born here. This morning saw and heard two male cviccas having a fight - close up the valley on the east side. Then got further, but haven't seen them yet. Have seen hummingbirds twice, on the ground or perching in low tules or on rocks. They have no Chiquiroyos for many miles. Big Lizards come out when it is warm. Have crossed the road many times, with its myriads of [illegible] & middles & remotes but have seen no large otards there (nor heard them). Caught 1 Bufo in a trap, and today saw a little yellow-footed one walking along. Saw 1 carder and 2 hawks soaring over what this glacier.
