Pearson - 1996 21 They never produce fruit and were only 10 feet tall. Too much frost. He says lots of pumas nearby, lots of red deer, not many guanacos. We did not see much sign of farm activity; a couple of cows. Then drove to the Microwave station at the top of the hill. There has been considerable equipment upgrading since we were there before: big new solar panel feeding into big battery packs, a big chainlink fence around everything, junk lying around, and not nearly as much broken rock lying around. Weather was overcast, almost no wind. I set 27 Shermans inside the fenced area, and three in two small rocky outcrops down the hill to the north, where Sage had located some Euneomys droppings near mouse holes. I saw no droppings while setting my line inside the fence. Anita set in rocky places outside the fence, 27 Shermans, and saw lots of Euneomys droppings. Total 57 traps. Left for home about 3 p.m. Sage collected Geckos and lizards (Liolaemus elongatus and bibroni). On the way home at the second summit saw 4 guanacos. one of them jumped a fence after crossing the road. No squashed hares on the road. Twelve condors circled low over the summit, some of them adults and several young. Birthday party for Liz in evening. 10 December - Ran traps at 9:30 a.m. Anita's line had 4 Eligmodontia, 2 Akodon longipilis, and 1 Ako xanthorhinus. Her numerous rocky sets with clusters of Euneomys droppings caught no Euneomys. My traps around the fence and the buildings caught 9 Eligmos and 1 Euneomys. The Euneo was under the huge big generator mounted on skids. The three traps in rocky sets found by Sage about 100m down the hill held 1 Euneo and 1 longipilis. The Eligmos were mostly females, some pregnant. One of the Euneos was smallish. Total number of animals was 19. We released all except two Euneos, two longipilis, and the xanthorhinus. When released in a rockpile, the Eligmos were rather inept. Those who happened to climb up to the top of a rock didnt know what to do then, so they would just sit there. Two-dimensional animals. Then we returned the keys to Marful. He thinks the Microwave tower is going to be abandoned, because
