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.
