Pearson 1955 79 Partly overcast. Deck. Heard barn owl during the night; my traps untouched; Anita caught Oryzomys and also Longi; saw shrews after daybreak. Saw nothing deerig to lower with NVGs. Returned early to Bariloche. Adrian Morgan came by with the summary of a survey picked up near the top of Cerro Bandera between Bernardo O'Higgins and the Collin's massif. It is a Euryzomys, nearly 1640 m. The five entire pellets from Cerro Traful: ① 1 old culico ② 1 ad. Oryz ③ 1 ad culiso ④ 2 ad. culisco ⑤ 1 ad. culisco ⑥ partial pellet 1 ad Oryz, Total: 5 Culisco, 2 Oryz, 1 Geskun, 1 also Longi. Light rain in afternoon. Drove to top of Cerro Otto (fierce wind and fog) and looked for Euryzomys sign on the "bare" west slope. None. Quite a bit of vegetation - wildflowers, moss, etc. At midday lots of armavory. Stopped on the way down at Piedras Blancas to look for 4 steel traps left by Milton Dallards; found 3 of them. At the place where we usually park, the only clump of locust has new shoots fully grown and apparently beginning to send out leaves.
