8 topos at Piedra Blanca (Capitain) had 4 hawgi type trees and 1 alba longji. The 3 topos between those and the rifle range had 1 hawgi-type trees, and the 4 topos at the top had 1 hawgi-type trees and 1 Chalange. The Chalange was near the acorn-yr-like sign. Stood in the parking area at the Top until 3 p.m. no cars all day. Then assorted photos in the lower forest. Picked up topos at 4 p.m. Nothing new. Just as I was parking to pick up the 3 topos of the (mailing) "acornado" site (1250m), Otto of Cano Otto and his lady came strolling up the road. He says this strip was always bare. He used it as an intermediate ski slope for his classes, which may mean that he might have trimmed back some saplings, but do cut nothing big. I knew that trees were here, but I'm not sure that they really know the diff. between the Chalange and the alba. Longi that I should them, Saw 6 parrots flying over the top. Lots of birds in the forest feeding up in the trees. Caught 1 finch (?)g?spothick in a steel trap in a tree at the top. The American/Padre in the apartment offered to take a look up and scatter the contents seeds over distances of about a meter. May 1 Sunday-Mayday. Sketched and wrote letters in AM, then up Cano Otto again for photos. Same, not much wind, numerous yellow jackets coming to skulls. Big woodpecker working in a huge elmwood - had large wart the top of Cano
