On the way back to Bambuco, off and on sprinkles, stopped
at some cliffs and good care 5km W of Pento Moreno. Only
a few pellets and loose bones. Very lush brushy vegetation at
the base of the cliffs and along the stream - was struck by the
abundance and size of the mat-acacna, none of it at
Palamiren Viejo. Maybe also good indicator of pre-forests?
May 13 The captive Eligmodontia ate several seeds of mistatiorids,
lint cents and I called to her and after a few minutes suffered
a burning throat for more than one hour, Owl pellets.
May 14 Started snow on the hills around Salo solvel Huespi, went out
to INTA at 10 to identify Susan Martin's and Javier Valletti's
catch from their traps at the INVAP station on the Riva
Rubi Surfer. They had a lot of Eligmodontia, some
also taulito, 4 Phyllotis darwin, some Auliscomp,
some also longi, and one Euneocyp! It was in a
traps (calipote)
trof in rocky brush at the bottom of a cliff, present
butter boil, caught by a bird leg in a small zonotrap,
trying to go down a hole in the earth. It looks like a
fluffy, short-tailed Phyllotis or a Reithrodon, Brownor
and fluffier than Auliscomp.
Have developed the theory that not thief, not hare,
have hunted Euneocyp, but willows and Norway rats,
We are going to return tomorrow to el canyon at 5km ESE
Estacion Pento Moreno and trap x the dense dense brush
along the stream and the dense brush along the bottom of
the cliff.
