30 to 80 mm long lying around the cage. The
Oryzomys didn't touch theirs.
Barebodo, Serrano warm. Visited by Michael
Christie and grad student from Minnesota. Brewer, then by Hilda, then by Adrian and Lucy
Moujean. Left at 6:30 to put traps at the first
summit east of Cero Línea. Weather turns cooler
and windy.
Set out 9 cage traps, 17 Sherman, 17 Muenzer, and 10 steel traps. Total 53. Two of them around two
old old blown-over but still thriving cypress with
green grass under them but otherwise in rather bare
stoney ground. Rest of line went from cypress
clump to cypress through mostly blooming Palo
Pichi (Fabiana imbricata). Some of it Pure Palo
Pichi. Hasn't been grazed for years or decades
but not much grass, only scattered low shrubbery.
Anta put 30 MS, 5 steel, at 8 cage traps
in similar habitat. We both saw the field
course blunt rounded red droppings that we
think are Euryoryzomys.
Ran our traps at 10-12 by flashlight and NVG's.
Saw 2 mice run from shrub at brush,
probably also. Longi. Anta's traps had alive (baby)
and 3 other longi, and dead 2 other longi,
longi (adult), 1 Oryz, 2 calico, and 1 Eligia.
Night half cloudy, moon ½.
