Droffings. He cleared this patrone 30 years ago
and dug out the bamboo rhizomes. Then it burned
in 1951. The woodcutter now are taking all kinds
of wood for firewood, plus bamboo canes,
and headlight
Hunted with the Night Vision Goggles, from dark
(9:45) until 11:45 and saw only one hare, no mouse
of any kind. Concentrated on 3 or 4 clusters of holes
with good Raittro Droffings. Full moon.
Set up at 3:45 and NVG around the Raittro area
and then about 400 m off the road. Saw one hare.
Moon set 4:40, sky in east was just beginning to
lighten. Back to bed 4:50.
mar.27 Sept 3:30 p.m. for Raitro Moreno. Weather sunny, hot.
Checked in with Sr. Marful, owner of Estacion Sa Francesa,
who let us camp along the stream (between the RR and
the stream). This is maybe 200 m, downstream from
our usual campsite listed as 2 km E Estacion Raitro Moreno. We swooped around for Raittro sign, then
set traps, 12 cage traps and 2 steel traps,
almost all in big runways (bare ring) at the edge of
Raittro
Berbina/Chacay clumps; lots of droffings. Set 4
hole traps and 3 steel traps and 2 cage traps, all at Raittro-like
or runways. Horned owl calling long before dusk and
frequently thereafter. A few Condors came in before
dusk. Heard no barn owls, maybe a screaowl.
Observed with NVGs until midnight; see Raittro
species account. Moon slightly past full.
