It was last night, 6 large muffs in a horse shoe pattern, but no embryos. Were not very large.
Either left her young in the nest or they left her after she was caught. Went back later and looked for the young or nest but didn't find them.
When we got back to the hotel at 8 am, they were all excited and said the bus was leaving at 8:30, a quick shock, then at 8:25 they said no, the bus would go as usual at mid-day. At mid-day, feed over full, packed etc., then word came through that there was a transportation strike in Argentina and that we would not be able to get home to Bariloche, so we checked back into the hotel and put out traps again; on the same trail; 6 young trofs, 10 coy trofs, and 20 she-maws.
Found a mummified Tolarida behind a shutter at Visbi Roth's house. Then looked up in the attic of the hotel and found one place with droppings and maybe a dozen lots between the tarjafier and the shingle. They flew out at dusk - looked like Tolarida.
Visbi Roth's father is Vernon Peterson of Santa Barbara, Cal.
Dec. 7 Morning clear. Trofs held only 1 also large ad 1 also slim.
Got Bariloche by bus at 8:45 a.m., arrived Puerto Blest 1 pm.
Walked from Lago FrÃas to P.B.; counted blooming laurel between El Chudo and P.B.: 5. Some of them the whole clump was blooming; other part of a clump. Bad year's shoots seemed to them as well as old ones.
