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.
