Pearson 1984 37 the cardo (bromelid) heavily grazed, saw spoke rabbit, a few black beetles. Then drove to the old matedero meadow on Pampa Huenuleo. Lots of Rattles here but almost no droppings, also two two signs including huge deep runways that were probably made under the snow, and two droppings out in under turf. Set 8 steal traps for tamar and Streak, and 8 new Rattles cage traps and about 6. cold cage traps for Rattles, baited with Dandelions. Weather cold, mostly cloudy. Before dark caught 2 two-two's. Heard no singing. Camped in middle of meadow, Checked traps at 10 P.m. (most half-full), nothing. Oct.31 Pampa de Huenuler. Began to rain at 10:30 p.m. checked traps at 3 a.m., rain/snow, nothing. Still raining at 7:00 A.M. Picked up traps, more touched. New snow on the trees up on Cerro Otto. Returned to Barkeley 8:00 A.M. Rain rest of day, Christie waited in afternoon, Nov.1 Early morning sunny, then clouded over, then rain. Went to INTA and talked with Javier Belloti, Susan Martin, and Julietta von Thungen.
