Pearson - 1995 4
black-necked swans on the marsh, and geese. As we
approached Llao Llao we recognized Adam Hajduk walking
along the road carrying the distributor cap of his
car. He had been looking at archeology sites on Bahia
Lopez. He has not located the tuco heads that he said
he had found at an archeological site at Arroyo Corral
(Dolly Frey's). Just after we left him we had a flat
tire and came to a stop right next to his car!
The forest at Llao Llao had lost two big coihues
near our bamboo clump. The clearing with rosa
mosqueta was about the same. No new bamboo shoots.
Heard and saw chucaos. Many fallen limbs, as well as
the two big trees down. See bamboo secies account.
At 6:30 p.m. drove out to the pine plantation on
the south side of the Limay at the exit from the lake
(Estancia San Ramon?). Picnicked, then after dark
walked through the pines for about an hour with
jacklight and night vision goggles. Saw no mice, no
sign of owls. I wonder where the Irenomys in owl
pellets from Cerro Villegas come from? Perhaps from
willows lower down the Limay? Cipres forest on top of
Cerro Leon? The pines have about 20 growth rings and
are about 20 ft. tall.
Cool, little wind, half moon. Maximum temp. during
the day 72.
November 2.- Bariloche. Overnight minimum 50. Cloudy, even
a few sprinkles. Shopped for tires. Temp max 64.
November 3.-Bariloche. Overnight minium 50. Overcast,
occasional drizzle in the morning, more drizzle in the
afternoon. Installed 3 new tires. Started out for La
Veranada in the afternoon, but too much drizzle so
turned around at the middle of Lago Gutierrez. High
about 55.
November 4.- Overnight minimum 50. Day mostly sunny, calm,
max 68o. Drove to La Veranada bamboo clumps. Road is
paved all the way! Scattered couds but mild temps.
The nire leaves are just beginning to come out,
dandelions in bloom. Only a few birds (wrens and fio-
fios), no snow, no wild pig damage, very few earth
cores but lots of tuco sign, and Chelemys? Back to
Bariloche about 4 o'clock. See Bamboo species account.
November 5.- Bariloche. Day sunny, mild, breezy, max 66.
Drove out to Rincon Grande on the Limay in the
afternoon. They are laying telephone cable along the
road: shallow ditch plus occasional cement junction
