collected pellets along the cliff, etc. Couldn't stratify the
ones in the chute. Saw 2 vicuñan off claro; large and quite
tame. As we were returning to car 3 scurrying-looking gambores
or howler monkeys approached Sage, asked if he was hunting,
and said that we were indeed on Est. Tachuel (or at least
on the lower Estación). Shortly afterwards we saw them,
dismounted, at the base of the cliff, probably hunting vicuñas.
Sage's 20 traps, half located with tame, half with carrion and
equally divided,
caught 2 also longi and 2 Notos Valdivianus x Amula's and my
lines caught 3 audisamps, 1 Notos rodin, 2 Oryz, 13 also.
longi = 23 total.
Drove west to Arroyo Vuelta and shivered bad levels
in a pleasant grove along stream. Sage collected lizards
on top of the cliffs and along the road: Sceloporus labrovis,
Sceloporus altissimus, L. labrovis (near barn), S. burgeri
(red-tailed), L. boulengeri, and Sidemutis kingi in
sandy place (yellow belly, black top, some reddish).
a couple of quarts of Agidulabo grounds pellets (Brutus
fuscens) contained almost no bones, almost entirely
have fur, some feathers.
Nov.11 Manuel Christos came in with one owl pellets from
the burned area on the way up to Refugio Morayes, contain
two audisamps (or Cano Carbon),
Drove out to Centro Atunus and met a Canadian nuclear
physicist (Bill Walker) interested in birding and a Virginian
and his wife (Whitlaw). Another parker is there also (Parkinson)
Whitlaw is teaching nuclear engineering students,
