Great horned owl pellets collected under willows on
22 may 23 at Fortin Reservoir:
Rattus 4 Rattler: 1
squirrel 4 Oryzomys 3
Phyllotis 3 Akodon longi 1
May 24 Morning cloudy, no frost. Ran trapset 8:30; three
small-eared Eligmodontia and 2 akodons? loncho?
Went out to INTA and worked with Jorge Araya, Susan
Martin, and Javier Vellati. They had collections from
INVAP, from Sos Meneor, which is said to be
transitional to monte habitat, and from Sierra Grande
(which I think was collected by someone else), no
surprises at INVAP; Sos Meneor had numerous
Phyllotis and (all in frustellidae) an akodon that
may be micratus. Sierra Grande had groupys,
a big square-edged akodon, and a big (30-g)
colomys?? Will attract some shulder. They also turned
over to me their Eligmo dissection notes for a joint
paper.
A botanist at INTA identified the soft-needle
rush from Conello as Scirpus subulatus. The
other 2 genera are the green-leaved S. bracteolatus
and the gray/white leaved S. neayi.
at 5:30 put out effort 56 M15 in the same grid of
habitat as yesterday at km 44 (roadside).
Christo and Marcelo came by at 8:30 and returned
since they had been photographing. Afternoon, colon.
