december 1979 Cerro Jones, 15 km ENE Bariloche, Rio Negro Argentina Nov. 10 left Hilda Rumbold's in Bariloche at noon, stopped, and drove out of town to the Cerro de Juncos. Hunted for owl pellets on the NE face of the Cerro. The largest craves still had whitewash and a big stick nest but no pellets, just rodent bones in the craves and rabbit (hare) bones under the nest. The adjacent craves had about 2 gts [illegible] pellets. Among the loose bones found about 8 mandibles of Festacelliphysa. Picked up all skulls + mandibles in certain areas, and all pellets everywhere, People say it has been a wet spring, + cold. Lots of snow. One resident said there was skiing today (later than usual), apple trees are flowering in Bariloche, Bombardy poplars newly leafed out, [illegible] Scotch broom flowering, lots of wild flowers at Cueva de los Juncos (violet's (yellow), Calecalaria, etc. Camped across the road from Cerro Juncos along the stream. Bushes + small trees along the stream grading into scrubgrass + reeds up the slopes. I put 40 large Sherman in bushes, cliffs, or weeds, baited with raw chicken, hot dogs, and/or rolled oats. Ainto 40 traps diltto. I also put 4 in culvert under the road, and 6 in rock craves near camp. Saw Col Ousel and wildcat. Weather clear clear, windy. Ditto yesterday and day before.
