trape were not towed, and the 30 Bhamore in
the bushy steppes with lots of Stillingia had only
one Rutherford (adult). Have heard no tucan.

Adrian + Talbert put 40 Bhamore in Stillingia etc in
a line with concentration around dense clumps of
trees. Evening clear.
may 17 morning clear, time fine, soon clouded up. My
line in steppes had 18 15g who pantha and 2 Eligino

of longi and Andriarange in the smaller plus maybe 2 new
longis.
