"tame" guanacos in the park and numerous rheas, Curt net outside the parks. Set 5 museum specials in lenga and weeds near the hotel at Sapo Lobo, and overnight caught 2 mice. During a hike up a mountain near the hotel saw abundant Reithroder and Eunomys droppings. Ground cover (grasses, weeds, wildflowers) in the park are lusher than anything I have seen for years in Argentina. No grazing, but fires every sometimes. One afternoon was incredibly windy (january is the windiest month). Hares were abundant in the park. Rabbits are said to be present but we saw more in that region. Then drove to Rio Turbio (cool rains and lots of hares), then flew to Rio Gallegos. Drove south to the penguin colony of Colo Virgenes (nesting under robust Darwin sage bushes, loco yung). Sheep country, supposedly no foxes to prey on the Penguins. Then flew to Ushuaia and visited the park west of town. Many rabbits, some beavers, cutting willow trees and feeding more. Good Sphagnum bogs. Talked with Dra. Martha Lizarralde and Jorge Palomera at the Centro Castral de Investigaciones Cientificas. Also visited the museum and saw many unpublished reports on rabbits, beavers, muskrats, etc. Then by bus to Rio Grande - marvelous rich sheep country with patches of forest. One
