where we stopped to look at hammests, we saw
Dolobster droppings or tracks. Only one DOR here
all day; no armadillo or Dolobster. Saw no cois, no
armadillos, no guacados, no rheas, no Dolobsters. A flock
of parrots & ducks heading [illegible] towards the Sierra Grande,
april 30 night clear, some wind. Trophs caught: ring 19 trophs
at 4 km SE Sierra Grande caught 4 Groumpy and 5 Elgyon.
8 at 2 km W caught 1 Groumpy and 1 Elgyon. The Groumpy
was in tumbled rock, a perfect Phyllotis darwini place.
auntie's 34 trophs caught 1 Groumpy and 11 Elgyons, all out
in flat sage (Jarras, Bacubris, Chinguiragua, and other
spring lakes). The Groumpy then near a thorn wood,
then 2 steel trophs caught 1 Choumpy, no fresh droppings.
Drove to Hotel Rayentay in Troph by way of Puerto
Urdyn. Odds of truck traffic on the paved coast highway.
One speckled here. Stopped & looked twice to skin about
10 km S of the Chiribut border. Auntie put about 10
museum specials and 2 steel trophs in some denser
bunchgrass near the road, where there were guinea pig
droppings. When we left, there was one alboron in
the trophs.
around Troph 4 o'clock. Note that in crossing almost all
of South America at the latitude of Bariloche (on Route 23)
in a season of unusual rain (muddy roads etc), since
Pitavirgen we have not seen any running water or
clear lakes with potable water; only muddy ditches along
the road and muddy saline ponds in the middle of scrub.
