Pearson - 1997 13 Anita set in coihue/bamboo/grass/rosa/mutisia and a few arrayanes; 34 Shermans and 18 Museum Specials. Then camped on the edge of the western piece of Lago Perito Moreno at our usual site. Set 5 more Shermans there in pure bamboo/coihue. 22 November- Drizzle off and on allnight. Jacklighted for about 20 minutes in the middle of the night but saw nothing. Drizzle in morning. The 5 traps around camp caught 5 mice! Then ran our other lines west of Llao Llao (same place we have trapped before and called [............]. Summary: 101 trap nights, 58 mice. Killed the live ones by carbon monoxide. Summary: 23 Oligos, 22 Abro longi, 9 Abro oliv., 2 Aulisco. None breeding except the biggest Aulisco, who had med-large testes, not very big seminal vesicles, but 'zoa in a smear of the epididymis. One Museum Special held two adult Oligoryzomys males, neither of them breeding, both of them obviously going for the bait. Another Sherman held two smallish male Oligos, neither in breeding condition. Returned home at 10 a.m and processed mice. Pedro Prieto came by; he is now at Parque Los Alerces. He wasn't aware of a ratada down there. He used to be parkguard at Lago Espejo and was going to go visit the old codger who lives at Espejo Chico and who remembered much lore of the old days. Pedro used to go check up on hum in winter to make sute rhat he was surviving. His name is Marcelino Matus Processed mice most of the day. Dinner with Patricia Fierro and Jorge Vallerini. He gave me the name of the weather person at INTA: Luis Cohen. 23 November- Left with Anita and Adrian Monjeau for Lago Espejo Chico at 2:30. Crossed with Pedro Prieto on the route. He had been to see Marcelino...who had not remembered who he was! He gave us the name of Hipolito Balbagellata, who lives up above the road to Villa Angostura just east of Rio Huemul. Hipolito remembers the outbreak of 1944. Then we stopped at the Parkguard station at the Puerto at Villa Angostura. Remorino was there, and another parkguard who remembered us from Pampa Linda. They said that the number of mice had declined since last month. Stopped at Lago Espejo but Willink was not there.
