sulfur etc. At dusk a half-dozen were flying round-and-round in a sudden subsection of the attic, caught 3 of them with sweep-net, one a female. At about 10, a dozen or more were flying in same area, and I caught about 10 of them, including females, all mnytas, great range of coloration. Lot of no- ets. Night calm & clear, not cold. Nov. 24 morning calm, somewhat overcast, temp at 6:15 1/2 C. At 8 am all quiet inside, caught 1 more mnytes in a crack. This house will be flooded upon completion of the Alicia dam in maybe 5 years. Peter Dympson has only seen one Jasmines (in a rose-bush) in many years again here, in spite of lots of lilies, junipers, poplars, and other flowers + planting. He is an excellent bird taxidermist and a good observer. Harrows pigeon owls (and one was calling while we were there). One of the trend owners is a falconer and captures hawks of various sorts at the Estancia, as well as shooting coyotes in the bosque in the higher parts of the hacienda (109,000 hectares). Coyotes kill numerous lambs, and Dympson shoots them when they get into the stud lamb-pen. About 1 per week per winter. He had stuffed a barn owl holding a short-tailed mnytes (?) that had been captured "up high near the snow"; he and his wife both agree that the hawks are present in the winter, probably near the churning. Annual rainfall something like 500mm, but this year very dry, about 250mm. This place is on the Rio Limay between Confluencia and the bridge over the Rio Collon Cura. Mostly sage-brush habitat, hair-grass - rich bunchgrass and cliffs, and willows. Drove to Bariloche and checked into Selva Negra campground about 2km W of town. One bat (mnytes?) seen at dusk.
