Dec. 8 Drove to So Versuda study site. Things looked about the same, rather dry, the stream not flowing. Then drove to the Rio CastaƱo Nuevo study site. Some fallen timber, lots of doo-llao trees, two motros in the forest close to the grid, berberis finished blooming. Parrots flew over, and saw one parrot walking along a doo-llao laden branch; stopped at a clump of doo-llao but I didn't see it eat, then it flew to another doo-llao-laden branch. I put 40 snuff traps, 9 Sherman, and 2 steel traps in the mullin. Good marsh, hummocks of grass, small sere up to maybe 4 ft, another bush berberis-like, some tabaquum, all wet wet. Saw no good runways, cuttings, or droppings. Anita put out 13 snuff traps along the road, and Carol put out 20 Shermons near camps. clear, warm, tabanids and mosquitoes and a few black flies. Dec. 9 Light rain a couple of times during the night, morning cold, mostly cloudy. My traps had 2 Orizonys, 1 also longi, 3 also olive, all may out in the marsh, and I had just in a steel trap at the edge of the marsh, size of Andisomy. Anita caught 2 also longi and 3 also olive, and Carol caught 1 Orizonys, one also longi, and 2 also olives. Pulled all traps it noon, by which time Anita had 1 motor rodlin, and 1 also olivo. I had in the marsh 1 motor rodlin and 3 also olives and 10 Orizonys. Left for the glacier at 2 pm, then home. judging by this one night of trapping, the same species live out on the mullin as in the forest - specific motor macramps. (Andisomy was caught in this mullin.) 73
