On Sunday morning, Dec.5, we had another 22 animals. 2 Reithrodon auritus 2 Auliscomys micropus 4 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 2 Eligmodontia morgani 8 Abrothrix longipilis 4 Abrothrix xanthorhinus It was windy, with dark clouds, but no rain while we were out. We went back to town to process the animals after releasing the species we weren't after. In the late afternoon we drove east to camp on Estancia El Condor and try for a more eastern sample of Abrothrix xanthorhina. There was a nice green grassy patch to set up camp. We set traps in a bunchgrass meadow, across a hillside with bunchgrass and shrubs, and on a slope above a small creek; 160 traps total set out. Mon Dec.6 We got up at 6:00 am to check the traps. We caught a total of 48 animals. 23 Abrothrix longipilis 7 Abrothrix xanthorhinus 13 Auliscomys micropus 3 Oligoryzomys longicaudatus 2 Reithrodon auritus
