Pearson - 1997 16 quail eggs in them and a plasticene egg also. Then she comes back 5 days later etc, to see if there has been any predation. She says that predation on the LlaolLao Peninsula is particularly heavy, something like 70% of the nests are molested. She wants to know what does it. Some of the quail eggs have lots of toothmarks on them that might be mouse teeth. Anita thinks one of the plasticene eggs had Irenomys bites on it. She finds lots of Dromiciops nests on the LlaolLao Peninsula. She did her undergrad work at U.C. Santa Cruz. 27 November- Morning clear and windy. Minimum overnight was 40. No snow left on the ground in Bariloche. Finished processing the Cerro Otto mice. Weather clouded up at noon, then more rain. Drove out to Eileen's camp at km 10 on the Rio Limay. The weather was awful in Bariloche, sunny at Eileen's, rainbows in between. Lotsof green vegetation, oodles of smartweed. The tucos are abundant; large colonies seem to have a lower reproductive rate than small colonies. John, Tina, Eileen, and Gabriella were there in their tent city. VERY windy on the way back to Bariloche, and still rainy in town. Couldnt see the top of Otto to see how much snow there. 28 November.- Left about 10 a.m. for Parque Nacional Los Alerces. Lunch in El Bolson. Road paved all the way! Some impressive expanses of rosa mosqueta between El Bolson and Epuyen. Arrived at the Park at 6 p.m. and found parkguard Pedro Prieto at his house. He was sort of vague about how many mice there were and where, and recommended a location at Puerto Limonao about 5 km north of Park Headquarters on the west side of Lake Futalaufquen. There is small beach there, a couple of fishing boats, and a kiosk. We talked with the lady of the kiosk, who produced a calendar on which her husband, Julio Oszlost (Polish) had recorded the number of mice caught in his pit traps on the edge of the cinder beach. There had been 3 or 4 20-gallon cans sunk in the beach along the wall on the landward edge of the beach. Beginning October 14, the number of mice in the 20-gallon pitfalls with water was:
