Pearson - 1993 11 two dozen owl pellets at the airport, this time under the pines west of the parking lot, south of the road. Peg reports some anti-foreign-collectors attitude in Uruguay, and lack of an adequate collection. 21 November- Bariloche. Mostly sunny. Drove up to the top of Cerro Otto with Anita and Peg, walked through the lenga forest. Big, overmature, lots of amancay plants and Chelemys sign in some spots; lots of dandelions in the meadow at Piedras Blancas. Saw a few condors. Then set traps at Las Victorias, 4.2 km E Bariloche. The habitat was clearly steppe with neneo, smartweed, Colletia, rosa mosqueta, cardon, a few Baccharis, and some bunchgrass but not a lot. Rather lush bushy steppe, with at least 80% ground cover. About 100 Shermans total: Peg 31 big Shermans, Anita 33 big Shermans, and I 10 small shermans and 21 big Shermans. Saw two dogs and no people in spite of its being Sunday and so close to town. 22 November- Bariloche. Clear, minimum 45. Picked up traps at 7 a.m. I had 2 Eligmo (in same trap) and 1 Oryzomys. Peg had 1 Eligmo; Anita had Ako longi under Colletia, 2 Aulisco, 1 Oryzomys, and 1 Ako xantho. Total 95 traps, 10 mice, 5 genera. Two photos of the habitat. Released the two longipilis and one Oryzomys. In the morning went out to the Centro Atomico with Adrian Monjeau to get liquid Nitrogen,which they make right there. Contact Sr. Scotti. Mane's exhibition of paintings in the afternoon. Then set traps at the Pampa Quemada 8 - 9:15 p.m. My line through the steppe, but, unlike last week, there were lots of open tuco burrows along my line. 23 November- Clear, minimum 50. Ran traps at Pampa Quemada at 8:15. My line of 14 Museum Specials, 10 small Shermans, and 20 large Shermans, many set at good open holes, had 1 Zonotrichia (MS), 1 Eligmodontia (large Sherman), and 1 Ako longi (large Sherman). Anita's 33 large Shermans had 1 Oryzomys, 3 Ako longi, and 2 Auliscomys (edge of green grassy meadow). Peg's 33 large Shermans had 3 Ako longi. Some of hers were around a rocky knoll. Total 110 traps, 11 mice. No olivaceus or xanthorhinus. At 11 a.m. I put 18 large and 4 small Shermans in pairs in the dense grassy meadow between Cerro Runge and the Faldeo, near where we had left the repeating traps. Dense grass, rosa mosqueta, bordering cipres forest, a few niress. Yesterday we picked up the repeating trap; it had been visited and probably occupied, but nothing was in it. This locality is near the Faldeo road, a few hundred meters west of the
