vizcacha eating ofato. Saw a hummingbird while I was setting traps. The llamos and alpacas that belong to the large corral across the valley from me came home this afternoon from their stay down on the papas. The shepherds immediately found Payne's traps, and he walked over to talk with them about it. There must be 300-500 creatures in the corral - many of the new young. Got up at midnight to check my 10 traps, and brought in large mouse. Turns out to be Amblyopsis boliviensis, however. No snow, for a change, but cold. April 8, 1974 Monday Mr. Caccachua turn 46 One wet Phyllotis darwini in my rich-looking line! And the mouse Payne took at the corral down the road turns out to be boliviensis. We are still trying to get 5 breed of darwini for our EM study, but not accumulating them very fast here. Now have 2 PP, 2 O'S (one rather wet). Cloudy in morning. We decided to amplify the traps along the ridge heading N, so Payne and I set out together. There are a lot of good sets on the line. The ganador who runs the flock across the valley came to see us on his bicycle. He says the alpacas in the herd (about 500 animals) are the property of the Socios - the other llamas and sheep are his. Payne saw a loom in his house, so we asked him if his wife knit - but she does. It is a knitting machine, rather than for weaving. The goal is to keep warm. Almost all day
