Tuesday, March 20 - Challapalca As soon as the Cyenophylla lizard emerged, Dave moved hi cat OP popped in a transmitter. Unfortunately just as this all happened our Indian came through with a broken bicycle, so for a short while things were confused - as he watched me anesthetize a lizard, i.e. We then tried to introduce the lizard to his forearm, but he would have none of it. So we watched him while he make a short trip across the road and holed up for the night in another Cyenophylla nest. It's clicking away fours. A good part of the day was spent amidst the weather - things are getting quite soggy. Wednesday, March 21 - Challapalca Dawned sunny at promising, and we enthusiastically faced the job of keeping track of our telemetered lizard. But I took over that job, and Dave made his job recording all the other weather information we wanted. The lizard didn't seem to behave normally - its emergence was fairly typical, but then he took off away from his former Cyenophylla burrow and ended up, when the hail descended, in a row of Festuca. Still clicking. Hail storm descended about 1:30, so it has been a long wet afternoon.
