October 12
May 12 Quebrada del Escondido, Laguna Verde, Sonora,
about 12 N. Lat., at the edge of the lake.
Lacustrine caught 3 individuals overnight. They
had a couple of legs. MS and Sherman also caught
a lot of [illegible] no Phyllostus. The otter had been cutting salsola tops. Other plants nearby
at the edge of the lake were berberis, choura, vistra,
troganis, bungaluras. Passed over clumps of [illegible]
considerably below the lake. A capybara (with one foot
[illegible]) ate a little bit of coffee and bread,
maybe rolled oats. The second night it eagerly went
after green grass and clover, held grass stem in
one paw and fed it into its mouth lengthwise
like a mouse eater. One of the three capybaras had
been dragged into a crevice and its entire bed
was gone.
While at the end we looked for them but
saw none.
