May 21 Jim W Cornell, night was clear dark & cold until 5 am when it clouded over and stayed cloudy/foggy all morning.
Maybe this is the cloudiness seen from Costa Alta a week or two ago. Ran traps at 8:30 a.m., Line A with 60 traps had 1 Roethro, 2 also taultho, and 5 Eligios. No more guinea pigs, although there are tracks and droppings over a cord area. Line B with its 72 traps, 27 of the Shonums baited with mouse meat, caught 2 Phyllotia (one owned), 3 also taultho, and 33 Eligios. At least 7 of the Eligios were owned. One shonum contained 3 live guernido Eligios. One big old sculp-trapped also taultho was carrying a Sapteium seed in its mouth. The Sapteium barkes can be pale dusty green, lavender, or gray. Some have sprouty seed capsules still attached, but few seeds lying under them, almost all the scales found were gnawed open. Found two 1-inch grubs in free-filled tunnels in Sapteium stems. Took photos of line B.
Left for Baridos about noon, started to emerge from clouds & fog at Estancia San Ramon, Baridos in full sun, + hawks/fleet+Trondors, snow in all directions.
