Enormous number of small brown Calidris (few beetles) flying at dusk. Full moon. This location now known as "ridge above Refugio Navarrete, 15 km S SW S C de Bamborbo", 1600m. This same locality last year we called 2000m, Rec. 2 Refugio Navarrete. Morning sunny + calm. Traps held more Charadrius, 1 Aukletropes, about 5 Charlongs, and 2 more Geotus. Rec. 3 Peulla, Chile: left Bariles at 10 AM and went via bus - foot - bus - foot - bus to Peulla and checked into the hotel at 4 PM. Sunny and stormy, beautiful views, especially Tramador from the Chilean immigration stop. I was very impressed with how fast the vegetation becomes "tropical" after entering Chile. Also hot + tobacco, met Peter Mercer of Hotel Peulla and put out traps. He put museum specs up a canyon behind the hotel and I put about 35 live traps up a side branch to a spectacular waterfall. Cochine and Lacunas, partly Conulesta and partly the big graceful quila. Forest Chilean, park guard says there are 3 species of lambar: Conulesta, quila, and the little one called or trenuo. My line was 10 cage traps, about 20 Shamonas, and 3 jump traps. Lunta put 20 MS in grassy blackberry + wildnut + older Sedge broom on edge of big meadow in front of hotel. Evening calm, clear. I also set clewakers in marsh before 7:30 PM.
