Found numerous pellets under the clipped under some
matentrees at the base of the cliffs, also a recently
dead downy young of a large species of owl. Two large,
broad-winged, almost tailless, ring-marked hawks hung on the
wind over the while me searched. Viscera droppings in
The closest road across to Simoy Riles is more than
some of the cravces! See Dec 29 for contents of pellets 6am.
On our way back to the car over the top of the cliffs,
stone, scattered bushes, very windy, saw a green monster
lizard running into the shelter of a small bush. Caught it plus
3 other lizards under stones in the same open stoney place.
Stopped at a nice marshy place 4 km west of the
turnoff from the main road. This is where Arroyo Chacabua
crosses under the Villa Acayotera road, the arroyo on its way to
Fortun Chocobueo. Between the road and the fence is
maybe 100 % of dense marshy grass with only a little junco?
mixed in. On the other side of the fence, the grass is
cutten down short and junco? prevails + This is the densest+
bushest grass that have seen. If Eucampis is a moist dense-grass
liver, the disappearance of Eucampis when sheep arrived could
be explained easily. Set traps here at 8 pm. It is 5 am
NW Nohuel Huapi.
Dec.13 morning very windy. Aunt's traps (30 ns and 4 steel) on the
north side of the road caught 1 Motonoldiv, 4 Andesumps, 4 also
longi, and 1 Raithe. my traps on the south side of the road
(37 ns ad 3 steel) had 1 Motion macro, 2 Andesumps, 2 Orppgth,
11 also longi, 4 Raithre. Marshy-grassy sets caught mostly
also longi and Dryz. Raithre in semi-arid sets around the periphery
of the marsh.
