Pearson - 1998 14 went down the burrow. Saw no other mice. Night was clear, calm, cold, brilliant stars. Heard no owls. November 22- Morning sunny, calm, low fog over the Rio Limay and the study area. John and Eileen agree that there is enough above-ground activity by adult sociabilis in early eveng hours to expose them to owl predation. Returned to Bariloche at 10 a.m. after photoing at Rincon Grande. There had been fire at Arroyo Corral. Overnight low in Bariloche had been 52°, afternoon high 70° Karl Holznagel, son of a friend of Mary Taylor's, came by. Took him to lunch, then out to the Llao Llao Peninsula sightseeing. He has worked as a fishing guide in Alaska, and has just been hired as a fishing guide by a professional guide in San Martin de los Andes. Karl had been fishing on the lower Rio Traful and happened to meet Larivierre in the coffee shop at the gas station at Confluencia! The broom is still in rampant bloom, not many bamboo shoots visible. November 23- Bariloche. Overnight low 48°. Peter Simpson, at the post office, when asked about the feeding range of radio-tagged condors, said that they don't have to go more than a few kms because there are so many starving sheep on the steppe and so many carcasses of shot red deer. I don't think his answer was based on real data from Lorenzo- who is in California with his Santa Cruz colleague. Arturo Tarak is living on his farm outside of town. Day sunny and warm. November 24- Overnight low 46*; high in afternoon 66. Sunny, some wind. Morning spent getting documents relating to sale of the van, with Gustavo, then lunch at Ghisela Christie's home. Lots of talk about Michael's childhood, the Rumboll-Tarak-Christie episode in the history of the National Park school for parkguards, etc. Ghisela is sure that Tarak was responsible for ousting Rumboll, and that Tarak alienated everybody. While Michael was in Berkeley he was promised a good job in Parks, and they assured him that his US citizenship would not matter, but the day after he arrived in Argentina it turned out that they could not hire a foreigner for that position. Hence the circuitous route of INVAP hiring him for Parks, then he was supposed to run the School on Isla Victoria and work for Parks in Bariloche also. This was while they were livingout at Llao Llao. November 25- Cloudy. Overnight low 50°. Morning wrestling with papers for the sale of the car. Then in the late afternoon put out traps on the Llao Llao Peninsula. Some at the rosa/grassy entrance from the road toward our bamboo clump B2, some at the little rosa/grassy clearing at the bamboo c lump, some around the parking lot/meadow across the road from the City Park Guard's house, and some in the first meadow along the road back to
