CanĂ³n del Alamo, 7300 ft., Sierra del Nido,
Chile, Nov.
June 21 1959
Of the party seeing turkeys every day.
Jumped 2 pair of Mebane Zail. Managed to
get one. My wing shooting seems to be deteriorating.
Found another Rufus-crowned Sparrows nest!
This one beneath a rock, - 3 eggs.
June 23 1959
We are low on meat so hunted deer today.
Worked for 2 hours making a big circle
from camp and didn't see a thing. Then
at noon when back within 3/4 mi. of camp
found a buck standing in an opening,
looking the opposite direction from me.
This is not the usual procedure for white
tail deer. They generally gets a glimpse of this
large white tail as they dash off through
the thickest areas of hedd. Now to add
insult to tired feet, a yearling walked
right into camp while we were eating
lunch.
The lion had been near one of the stub sites,
leaving a pile of droppings in trail just
50 ft. beyond the set. These droppings
were moved to the set. This cat does
very little scratching after depositing dropping,
just a couple swipes with a paw.
