Chilempe
Dec 3 Refugio Nermayer. 3 cage tropes at a woodpile in
Puro larga Corgat 2 big and 1 small Chilempe.
Between 11:30 a.m. ad 3:30 p.m., by auto. Baited
with apple + rolled oats. They had eaten all the apple,
They ate more apple immediately (in preference to
armaway rhizome). Later in cages they ate
rolled oats. Up near the first lake was a beautiful
long earth core 12 m long - and then it disappeared
into a snowbank. The small Chilempe was
an immature 35 g, surely born under the snow.
Dec 4 Caged adults have a Concord grape, fruity odor.
Overnight they ate apple but not armaway
