46 ago, but found no sign there, and none at Est. Perito Moreno (Jaguar de los Pinos). While there an NTA truck went by with Adrian. He had been trafficking at Paleninger and said that after many hundreds of trap nights at his grids in July, Aug, Sept, Oct, and now (7 days), he had caught nothing. I set 15 cage traps in low brushy broad habitat along the RR track a few hundred yards east of the lake. Saw no Pardaloto droppings, but habitat looked good. Baited with dandelion, oats, apple, Then drove about 2 miles east of the lake and camped between the RR and the road. There there is thick green grass and lots of Pardaloto droppings and holes. I set about 5 Sherman and 8 new Pardaloto traps. Anta set 1 steel and 40 M.S. She caught a juvenile Pardaloto at 8:20 while it was still quite light. Mostly cloudy at dusk, with distant lightning, almost no wind; almost full moon. Pan traps shortly after dark: 2 Alcedon longi in snap traps, no Pardalotos. nov.7 Esteban Perito Moreno. Pan traps at 1 a.m., thin clouds, bright moonlight. Nothing in traps, saw no snow, at dawn, ice on windshield, very light frost on grass, but many of the new traps frozen. Nothing in them. 2 more Alcedon longi in snap traps + 4 Spring empty. In the 15 cage traps along the RR at the lake, caught 3 adult alces. Longi, about 15 condors running on the cliff. Returned to
