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.
