Puerto Fni. The trees were being used by several
honeyguides. Camped at Glen 5 Puerto Fni.
Dec 11 Total catch my traps (26 Sherman, 26 MS, 3 steel)
was 1 abodon durcian and 11 abodon longifili. Arunta's
traps (30 MS and 8 steel) was 1 Geotura and 13 also logs.
Heard chucas and what-not at this camp. Considerable
diversity of trees and shrubs at this camp, plus lots
of bamboo; one clump in bloom.
Saw a big orange bumble bee feeding avidly
on fuchsia. Parrot
Left about 10 a.m. and drove to Villarica for gas &
supplies, then east to Curarrehue where we camped in
the municipal campground. Could find no accessible
forest or natural habitat in which to put traps any-
where between Villarica and Curarrehue. Many little
farms etc., lots of cows. At dusk, chinchagas
were hawkking insects over the river, like bats.
Dec. 12 Another clear day. Drove east through farm country
toward Volcan Galan and finally came to forest on
the final steep rocky ascent to the summit. A grove
of Araucaria just before the border. Crossed the border
and drove a couple of kms north to Zago Tronco. Saw a
few acorn camps, diggings and runways in a meadow
near the lake; net 2 steel traps there. Couldn't find
a good trapping situation at the lake, so after an
hour picked up the 2 traps and drove east a fair
then to a nice stand of un-cut Araucaria on a
cinder slope of Volcan Galan where we camped.
