Pearson - 1993 official in charge of interpretative programs (Falcone); they are going to live at Parque Perito Moreno. In the afternoon set traps on the road to Colonia Suiza, 2.8 km west of the bridge over the Rio Casa de Piedras (= 15 km W Bariloche). I set 36 big Shermans baited with rolled oats, They were at the edge of grassy meadows containing some bunchgrass not too heavily grazed, nire thickets, retamo, Mutisia, rosa mosqueta, a few cipres, etc. Dense forest on the hillside a few hundred meters to the south (above the road). About 6 of my traps were at the bottom of 2-foot-deep holes dug in the meadow. A few tuco signs. Anita set 33 Shermans in similar places. On the way home took the road connecting with the paved road to Cerro Catedral and went past maybe 100 hectares of totally burned scrub (nire, retamo, acaena, Berberis, etc. Numerous abandoned tuco mounds, but nothing growing yet, and none of the bushes sprouting. Some open holes in the old tuco diggings, so maybe mice are present. The open acaena areas did not burn as completely. There were a few isolated clumps of bamboo that looked completely dead, but one of them had two 2-inch green shoots coming up out of the ash. Joanna and Werner Flueck saw it burning on October 13, only a month ago. 10 November- Bariloche. Morning sunny, minimum 50. Picked up traps at 15 km W Bariloche (road to Colonia Suiza). Anita's 33 had 4 Oryzomys, 3 olivaceus, and 2 Ako longipilis. Nothing in her 7 small Shermans and nothing in my traps set in the bottom of pits. My 36 traps had 1 Oryzomys, 4 olivaceus, and 3 longipilis. All were adults. Released all except the olivaceus. Total 69 traps: 5 Oryz, 7 olivaceus, 5 longipilis=25%. One of my traps was sprung, lying on its side, with a big stone inside it. Two or three others were lying on their sides with mice inside. These traps must have been found by somebody but not stolen! Numerous clumps of dead bamboo in the burned area, but only a few of them with any signs of shoots coming up. A few new tuco diggings at the edges of the burn. One freshly dead hare on the road near our trap line. Fluecks came for dinner. 11 November- Bariloche. Clear; minimum 48. Drove to Hotel Tronador at the west end of Lago Mascardi, then hiked up to the Cascadas de los Cesares, then backtracked and hiked up the trail toward the Lagunitas of Cesares, but we didn't get all the way to them. Some drizzle. On the lower slopes are huge
