Beetles along the fence between weeds + turf. Took some flash photos of him. Oct. 30 Sa Froqua. Night cold; water bottle in car froze almost solid. After sunrise, about 24 condors were soaring high over the cliffs. Nov. 1 Drove up to back side of Cathedral looking at bamboo; no blooms. Trees in the meadow at the east end of the ski area. Nov. 2 Visited the marked bamboo clumps on Cerro Otto. There had been much cutting of caña and corge, but they left our marked clumps. The clump in the open meadow had no new shoots and only two yearling cane. The clump in the needle had numerous new shoots and survival of about 14 of last year's 32 shoots. On two plants where leaves had been marked, almost no new leaves since the last marking. Nov. 3 Two horned owl pellets collected by Patricia Fierro at Fortin Chocolates on Oct. 14th, 1986: Beetles. (1) Old beetle (2) Beetle Purbaithra Grenambhare Nov. 4 Went bambooing to Siao Siao with Anita + Isabel Gallopin. Clumps B1 and B2 were undisturbed and little change. Counted leaves; the marks are holding up well. Have not seen any bamboo blooms so far this year. A chieco came up (again) to examine our notebooks and equipment. Scottish broom in full bloom.
