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.
