Dec.25 Drove up to Refugio Neumayer (Challuano) and hiked
up as far as the photod dense patch of Aranaway.
It looks the same. The patch just below it and over
the trail, where there were many chelung earth
cover 2? years ago, is still not regenerated to
Aranaway; mostly ?Vicia?. Hardly any
Aranaway in bloom yet. Warm sunny day, but
only one other car at the Refugio. Road poor.
Some Largan with seed pods, but significant
seeds not seen.
Dec.26 Went to Puerto Blest and measured bamboo.
Sunny + warm, lots of tabanids. The clump (D-1)
at 84 on grid about same. It has very long
brancklets. The grid is more open, less understory
than I had remembered. Then counted bamboo
in bloom on the way to El Abuelo (16). Big parrots
feeding on fruits of Desfontainea x
Dec.27, Puerto Blest, Sunny + warm, See bamboo,
Bachata Bamboo at 5 p.m.
Dec.30 Drove out to Estancia San Panon and looked for bats
in various buildings, guided by Conrad Bailey;
numerous droppings falling through ceiling cracks in
topping down the maid's quarters; could see into the
attic but no access; no bats visible. The droppings
looked OK for histotetics. Then looked in a shallow
cave across the reservoir. Saw 3 ?myotis? singly
in deep cracks but couldn't get them out;
droppings below them.
