E 654 g. Sr. Regal (Suecia), who was born in El Bolson and has lived here 4 yrs, says there used to be more puestoa hereabouts and that it was more open. Road is least open all winter, but up to a meter of snow. He assures me there are lots of javali (wild boar), some rheemul, and some pudus (in dwarf pine forest over the Cordón Toyoutruen to the east). Occasional puma, no rheumb, some fotes and venados but no ciervos. Says rosa mosqueta is not here because livestock have not brought it in their droppings. all of today's mice were dry in the traps; but got somewhat wet with banding process. Frequently when released they moved stop briefly to greet. Traps set in front of holes in the ground with earth pulled out did not catch anything.
