Dromaius australis.
April 18. Puerta Blea. Snow strewn ground in Patagonia; temp. last night 0°C, Paddock road with ½" ice. Caught two Dromaius on the grid, rather with fat tails. One was torpid (confidently in the trap (♂)), the other probably a ♀ was fairly lively.
Released her (18g), kept the other for photo and to warm up.
Released him at 7 pm on the grid, he was active but still not lively, nor completely coordinated.
April 23 - Of three Dromaius caught so far, more with fat tails.
